The World Bird Sanctuary's
Raptor Awareness program features birds of prey including falcons, hawks, owls, and vultures. Not only will you see different species of raptors, you'll also learn a vulture's secret weapon and how to identify a bird of prey in the wild. Sit back and enjoy an up close and personal view as some of the birds soar right overhead! Be sure to ask about adding an eagle to your program. If you'd like to know more or schedule a program, please call our Education Department at 636-225-4390. Recommended for 3rd grade and higher.
