Description
We welcome the return of Chris Collier, Director of Onsite Interpretation for the Vermont Institute of Natural Science. Chris previously filled a number of roles on staff here– as an intern, an assistant naturalist, and Ragged Island manager. Join Chris for this exciting Raptor Encounter where he will display a variety of live falcons, hawks, and owls. This first-hand program show just what defines a bird as a raptor and explains their adaptations for life as predators on the wing. A flight demonstration, touchable artifacts, and hands-on materials round out this special experience.
