Meet a variety of raptors and learn about their natural habitats, discover their unique features, understand their role in rodent control, and hear the fascinating story about how they ended up at the Center with Ellen. At the end of the program, get an up-close look at these magnificent birds of prey! Then explore the fascinating world of owls with a hands-on owl pellet dissection. Each participant will dissect an owl pellet, uncover bones and other clues from an owl’s meal, and use their discoveries to learn what owls eat and their role in the food web.
