Stealthy, strong and amazingly beautiful, raptors are truly a force in nature. Long sharp talons, amazing strength, hooked beaks that tear and highly developed eyesight and hearing make these creatures superior hunters of the avian world.
See for yourself when they come to the Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s Environmental Education Center for Raptor Weekend Saturday and Sunday. Wildlife rehabilitators and experts from across the Northeast will be showcasing a wide variety of these extraordinary birds at the largest raptor celebration in New England. Falcons, owls and hawks will be featured in live flight demonstrations and educational programs for bird enthusiasts of all ages.
New this year is “Art of the Raptor.” Select artists have been invited to showcase their work throughout the weekend, with raptor paintings, photography, jewelry and carvings on display and available for purchase.
