Migration
This 60-minute program focuses on raptor migration and the challenges that migrating raptors face. Students will participate in an obstacle course simulating some of these challenges, so a large open space, either indoor or outdoor is necessary. After a brief discussion about their experience, students will get to meet 2-3 of our avian ambassadors to see some of these migrating wonders up close! Program cost includes groups up to 35.

Birds and Biomagnification
This 60-minute program focuses on biomagnification, or how toxins are found in increasing levels of concentration as you move up the food chain. Raptors are frequently referred to as “indicator species,” meaning their prosperity is an indication of the overall health of an ecosystem. This program will discuss well-known toxins such as DDT and their effects on raptors, and will include 2-3 avian ambassadors. Program cost includes groups of 35.
