Raptors have an array of adaptations specific to the order, genus and even species that heighten their ability to survive and reproduce. During this field trip, students will get a closer look at the characteristics that differentiate hawks from falcons from eagles from owls and how these varying traits make them well adapted to their specific habitat. Through a live raptor encounter and activities, students will walk away with a better understanding of raptors and the key differences that make them successful in their particular niche.
