Presented by Wingmasters

Birds of prey are also known as raptors, and they are hunting birds characterized by hooked beaks and powerful grabbing feet armed with sharp talons (the word raptor comes from a Latin word that means "to seize")….he program is designed to explain predation, the birds' place at the top of the food web, their different hunting adaptations and their status in a rapidly changing world. Because many birds of prey are declining in number, this presentation also features one or more of the endangered raptors that we care for, and explains why these species face an uncertain future. Our presenter, Jim Parks will also be sharing insights about the Audubon prints that can be seen throughout the library.

Open to all ages.  

We will be offering an American Sign Language Interpreter as part of this program, thanks to a grant from the Lowell Cultural Council.
