This family-friendly program introduces you to hawks, owls, osprey, and eagles that call this area home. Learn how to identify these incredible birds and discover their behaviors, habitats, and important roles in the environment. You’ll also gain a new appreciation for raptors as key indicators of a healthy ecosystem and reflect on their place in the world we share. Christian Cold is a retired wildlife technician and educator for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. His presentations typically include the display and interpretation of live, native animals which he maintains for this purpose. Animals will be shown at the END of the program.
