Raptor expert Ray Pena, a licensed falconer, will introduce hawks and owls including a peregrine falcon, gyrfalcon, kestrel, screech owl, and Harris Hawk. Weather permitting, he will conduct a flight demonstration outdoors with one of his birds where it can be best observed. Pena uses his birds to teach about their eating habits, adaptations and habitats. The show will highlight the observation of birds of prey and an appreciation for the environment in which they live. People of all ages will enjoy this program.
Organized groups are welcome.
