Champions of the Sky: How Birds of Prey Hunt With Elizeth Cinto-Mejia
Audience: Elementary and up
When: April 15th, 6:00-6:40pm
Come learn about different hunting strategies that birds-of-prey use to look for food. From larger hawks like red-tailed hawks, to smaller ones like sharp-shinned hawks, wing shape plays an important role in the habitat where they can hunt and what prey they can eat. Whether you are in the city or a forest, explore places where you can see common birds-of-prey in Michigan. Attendees will also learn about how owls use unique strategies to hunt during the night and how noise pollution could impact their hunting. Bring a sheet of paper and your family to participate in an ‘in-home’ flight demo!
