Audubon Raptor Weekend

Wildlife rehabilitators and experts from across the Northeast will join us to showcase a wide variety of these extraordinary birds of prey at the largest raptor celebration in New England.  Eagles, falcons, owls, and hawks will be featured in live flight demonstrations and educational programs for bird enthusiasts of all ages.

Join master falconer Laurie Schumacher from Hamilton, New York, for Talons! A Bird of Prey Experience.  A European Eagle Owl, Barred Owl and Harris' Hawk are just a few of the raptors she will present.

Marcia Wilson of Eyes on Owls will introduce the audience to a Snowy Owl, Spectacled Owl and five or six other live owls found in New England as well as other parts of the world.
