They are coming! Avian hunters with long, sharp talons, hooked beaks, and highly developed eyesight and hearing are headed to Bristol. They’re raptors, the superior hunters of the avian world. Raptor Weekend is happening on Saturday, September 6 and Sunday, September 7, from 10:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M. at the Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium in Bristol, RI!

Owls, hawks, and falcons will be featured in live presentations, educational programs, and activities for bird enthusiasts of all ages. Audubon Raptor Weekend presents a unique opportunity for visitors to get up close with many species and learn about their adaptations and habitats in this engaging, family-friendly weekend event.

In addition to owl and hawk presentations by Audubon experts, wildlife rehabilitators from across the Northeast will bring their expertise with birds of prey to the event.

Be sure to stop by and see the Rhode Island PBS Kids Club table on Saturday, September 6 for goodies and giveaways from 10-2!
