Event Details
Come see live Raptors of North Texas! Day and night the raptors are on patrol. Their mission: in search of a meal. How do they do it? Discover their unique adaptations to hunt in woodland, wetlands and prairies. Raptors of different species and sizes will be used to demonstrate their capabilities.
Blackland Prairie Raptor Center is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to environmental preservation through public education and the conservation of birds of prey in their natural habitat. Founded in 2004, BPRC has reached more than 350,000 people through interactive educational outreach programs. With non-releasable raptor ambassadors, BPRC introduces its visitors to the habitats of Texas and the unique characteristics of birds of prey. It also teaches people on how they can play a role in respecting and protecting raptors in their natural environment. BPRC’s raptors include hawks, owls, falcons and kites.
This program is intended for elementary children, teens, and adults. No registration is required.
