Nature is Neat: Birds of a Feather

Would you like to meet some raptors in person? Our friends from the Glen Helen Raptor Center will be joining our birding program with live raptors you can meet up close! Raptors are the majestic predatory birds that hunt and feed on small animals. They include such birds as eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls.

Discover what owls eat by examining their digestive pellets under a microscope. Learn backyard bird identification basics and what tools can help you. Play the migration game and make some “binoculars” from recycled materials to help you spot birds during your hike. And when you decide it’s time to migrate home to your own backyard, take a free Bird Explorer booklet to continue your learning!
