Long, sharp talons. Hooked beaks that slice and tear. Highly developed
eyesight and hearing. We’re talking raptors, the hunters of the avian
world. Birds of prey with keen adaptations that provide speed and
accuracy for the hunt. And they’re descending on the Audubon Society
of Rhode Island’s Environmental Education Center for Raptor Weekend,
September 13 and 14, 2008.
Wildlife rehabilitators and experts from across the Northeast will be
showcasing a wide variety of these extraordinary birds prey at the
largest raptor celebration in New England. Eagles, falcons, owls,
vultures, and hawks will be featured in live flight demonstrations and
educational programs for bird enthusiasts of all ages.
