This weekend will bring an exciting opportunity for first-hand learning about raptors from beyond our state and national borders. Carpenter Nature Center is once again hosting a program by World Bird Sanctuary, which will feature some of the Sanctuary's resident birds, some of them in flight demonstration.
The seven raptors include a Long-crested Eagle, and a Eurasian Eagle-Owl, the largest species of owl on earth. There will be flight performances by a Barn Owl, a Harris' Hawk, and a Hooded Vulture. The presentations are both highly informative and very entertaining for all ages. They also provide a rare opportunity to make direct comparisons with our own more familiar raptor species, such as those among Carpenters' resident education birds. The programs will be March 2nd and 3rd at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.**** RSVPs are required. Admission is $10 per person or $7 for ‘Friends of CNC’.* *** ****Carpenter** **Nature** **Center**** is located at 12805 St. Croix Trail S.
