Birds of Prey

Experience the wonder of a live bird of prey up close. Guided by a trained Mass Audubon educator, students will visit different interactive explortiaon stations to dive into the fascinating adaptations that make raptors what they are. Students will examine touchable artifacts, apply critical thinking to identify bird-of-prey traits, and build evidence-based arguments about how external structures help these animals survive in the wild.
