Fall for Raptors

at the Waterman Center
Saturday, October 4th
10:00am - 11:00am
12:00pm - 1:00pm
 

Enjoy a rare chance to see fascinating predatory birds up close at the Waterman Center!

 

Imagine bald eagles cruising over the Susquehanna, turkey vultures catching thermals over your home, or a Cooper's hawk bombing your birdfeeder. Birds of prey are woven into the fabric of our lives in the Southern Tier! Even though a raptor sighting is an almost daily occurrence in our region, there is still a mystique to their fierce beauty that captivates our imaginations.

 

 

Cornell Raptors will present a live raptor show, teaching you about their behavior, natural history, and conservation. After a short talk, you will have a chance to come a little closer and see the birds they present up close!
