3:00 pm VINS - Raptors: Inspiring Conservation - Live Bird Program

For hundreds of years, humans didn’t understand the vital role that raptors play in our ecosystem. Some of our most charismatic birds, including the Bald Eagle and Peregrine Falcon, wound up on the Endangered Species List, and today we know that a majority of bird species are in decline. Join us in learning how people banded together to save these magnificent animals, and meet some live birds who will help us tell these inspiring conservation stories. Best of all, learn what you can still do to help them thrive in the wild.
