Event Details

You’re certain that you’ve spied a Cooper’s Hawk with its prey, but could it actually be a Peregrine Falcon? Perhaps it’s just a case of mistaken identity. Learn the tips and tricks to be able to spot the differences. Explore with us the defining features of those raptor species most commonly mistaken for each other. This hour-long program features 4 birds: a Peregrine Falcon and a Cooper’s Hawk as well as a Barred Owl and Barn Owl. 


This program is brought to us by Horizon Wings: Raptor Rehabilitation and Education located in Ashford, CT. 

"Our mission at Horizon Wings is to rehabilitate birds of prey for release into the wild in order to maintain their population, and to educate the community to enhance awareness of the environment. It is our hope by doing this that we reach people of all ages and create the desire in them to help preserve our natural world."

 

This event is a part of the Library Card Crawl. Registration is required.
