Greenwich Audubon Center is thrilled to announce our two-day celebration of the importance of birds of prey and their incredible migratory journeys. Attendees will be able to enjoy meeting hawks & owls up close during Live Raptor Presentations by falconers & local wildlife rehabilitators as well as learn how to identify the dozens of species of migratory hawks, eagles, falcons and vultures over our heads during Raptor Identification Workshops.

Activities for kids will include Owl Pellet dissections, Migration Games, Face Painting and meet & greets with our center's reptiles. Best of all you will have the chance to witness the migration of hundreds of birds of prey with other hawk watchers at our Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch!
