Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) Presentation: Raptors Up Close

  • John Hay Estate at The Fells 456 Rt 103A / PO Box 276 Newbury, NH 03255 United States (map)

Live falcons, hawks and owls provide the lens through which we examine food webs, predator-prey relationships and the interdependence of the systems that support life. This first-hand encounter enables participants to understand the defining characteristics that make a bird a raptor and their adaptations for life as a predator on the wing. Touchable artifacts and hands-on materials round out this special experience. This program is recommended for all ages. Meets in the Pavilion. Members: free, Non-members: included with regular admission.  Advance registration is requested but walk-ins are welcome.
