New England's Largest Celebration of Raptors

They are BACK! Amazing birds of prey with long sharp talons, hooked beaks, and highly developed eyesight and hearing are headed back to Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s Nature Center and Aquarium.

Eagles, owls, hawks and falcons will be featured in live presentations, educational programs and activities for bird enthusiasts of all ages. Audubon presents a unique opportunity for visitors to get up-close with many species and learn about raptors and their adaptations in this engaging, family-friendly weekend event. This popular annual event was postponed in 2020, and Audubon is thrilled to bring back both raptors and visitors this September.

In addition to owl, hawk and falcon presentations by Audubon experts, wildlife rehabilitators from across the Northeast will bring their expertise with birds of prey to the event.
