Raptors rule the sky and are a special group of birds that include eagles, falcons, hawks and owls.  Examine feathers, feet, bones and other artifacts that highlight special characteristics of these raptors and predators.  Find out how they hunt and how they live.  Great hands-on items, bird facts and a craft will teach all ages about these flying hunters!

“Predators of the Sky” is a part of a series of special summer programming that we are offering on Fridays and Saturdays at the Fish Ladder Visitor Center for all ages. These free drop-in sessions are led by Jay DeGregorio, one of our Environmental Educators. This program is made possible with the generous support of Great River Hydro, owners of the hydroelectric plant in Bellows Falls on the Connecticut River.
