Birds of Prey

September 12 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Meet and learn about raptors at our Birds of Prey: The Science of Birds in Flight program!

We’re partnering with Ellen Kalish from the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center to bring you a captivating program in the museum pavilion. Meet a variety of raptors and learn about their natural habitats, discover their unique features, understand their role in rodent control, and hear the fascinating story about how they ended up at the Center with Ellen.

At the end of the program, get an up-close look at these magnificent birds of prey! Then explore the fascinating world of owls with a hands-on owl pellet dissection. Each participant will dissect an owl pellet, uncover bones and other clues from an owl’s meal, and use their discoveries to learn what owls eat and their role in the food web.

Geared for children ages 5 and up. (All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)

COST:
Program – $6.00 per person
Owl Pellet Dissection – $5.00 per person
