New Englandīs Magestic Raptors
When:
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Where: Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant St. Brunswick
Cost:
$ FREE
Category: Outdoors
Description:
What are birds of prey? How do their survival techniques differ from species to species? Merrymeeting Audubon presents this program from Chewonki which compares and contrasts the special hunting adaptations of nocturnal and diurnal raptors, including their talons, their sharp, curved beaks, and their different wing and tail shapes.
We will have the exciting opportunity to see three live, non-releasable raptors. In addition to viewing these predators of the sky up close, participants also handle and examine feet, wing, and skull specimens to better understand these majestic birds.
Free and Open to the Public. Refreshments.
