With hooked beaks, excellent eyesight, sharp talons, and strong legs and feet, raptors rule the sky. Meet some of Minnesota’s most amazing birds of prey during a Wildlife Science Center presentation including a live hawk, owl, and falcon. Learn about the amazing adaptations Minnesota’s raptors rely on to find prey, hide, defend territory, and take care of their young. Touch the collection of raptor and other wildlife artifacts to find out firsthand why birds can fly and we cannot.
