Raptor Fest

Eager birdwatchers can see hawks, falcons, owls and ravens in New York City parks, but this event makes the viewing considerably easier: The birds are coming to the humans, rather than vice versa. In this free festival presented by the Urban Park Rangers, children will be introduced to a variety of birds of prey, learn about their habitats and adaptations and watch them in flight demonstrations provided by the organization Skyhunters in Flight.
