Birds of Prey Exhibit

owl-01Our Great Horned Owl and Red-tailed Hawk are rescued, non-releasable raptors, native to our region, who are included in our educational programs to focus on the conservation and protection of local animal species. They live in outdoor habitats where visitors may observe and learn about them from our staff.

Our programs frequently explore owls as nocturnal animals and raptors, study their adaptations, and students dissect their pellets!

Through the years, these programs and demonstrations have been exceptionally popular with elementary and middle school students as well as senior citizens.
