7th Annual Raptorama! Part 2: Marine Park (10/19) (Free)

It's that time of the year again, time for Raptorama! For Part 2 of this annual festival, meet us at Marine Park's Salt Marsh Nature Center to learn about hawks, eagles, owls, and more. See some of these amazing raptors during a live demonstration, and go on walks with experts to get a look at hawk species flying south for the winter.

This festival is presented by the American Littoral Society, NYC Audubon, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, and Gateway National Recreation Area. While this event is free, donations to support this festival would be appreciated.
