lisa_with_owl.jpgLong, 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.
