Hawks, osprey, eagles, falcons, owls, kites, and vultures, are all amazing birds of prey that we call raptors! What is a raptor you ask? Hooked beaks, grasping talons, a purely carnivorous diet, and keen eyes define them as a group…it’s not hard to imagine that they descended from dinosaurs. Join us at the museum to visit with live birds with their handlers from rescue organizations, use binoculars and scopes for outdoor viewing with some of our expert birders, see historic taxidermy from our collections, learn to identify raptors through sights and sounds, and play games and do crafts to learn more about these amazing birds with our educators.
