Celebrate the importance of birds of prey and their incredible migratory journeys. Enjoy hawk & bird related activities for the whole family that promote the importance of raptor conservation.
Meet hawks & owls up close during Live Raptor Presentations by falconers & local wildlife rehabilitators, Live Bird Banding of migratory songbirds as well as learn how to identify the dozens of species of migratory hawks, eagles, falcons and vultures over our heads during Raptor Identification Workshops. Bird-related activities for kids will include Owl Pellet dissections and migration games.
Scan the skies at Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch with staff & volunteer hawk counters as they point out raptors flying overhead. During this period of peak raptor migration we anticipate large numbers of species such as Bald Eagle, Osprey, Sharp-Shinned Hawk, American Kestrel and on days of ideal weather thousands of Broad-Winged Hawks in a single day.
