Hunters of the Sky – Raptor Biology

An introduction to basic raptor biology and a look into the birds’ lives with an overview of how they exist in the environment and why they are important. After introducing the basic characteristics that identify a raptor as a bird of prey, we discuss migration, adaptation, habitat use, anatomy and how these birds fit into the food chain in a predator/prey relationship. This presentation can be tailored to all age groups. California Standards for Science K.2a,b,c; K.3a,b,c; 1.2a,b,c,d; 2.2a,b,c,d,e; 3.3a,b,c,d; 4.2b, 4.3a,b,c.
