Location: Montgomery Elementary School, 249 School Drive, Montgomery Center, VT

This event, sponsored by the Montgomery Conservation Commission, is free and open to the public. Donations for future programs are always welcome.

Falcons, hawks and owls provide the lens through which we examine food webs, predator-prey relationships and the interdependence of the systems that support life. This first-hand encounter enables the participants to understand the defining characteristics that make a bird a raptor and their adaptations for life as a predator on the wing. Touchable artifacts and hands-on materials round out this special experience.
