2011-2012 Birds of Prey Programs

The Kalamazoo Nature Center’s birds of prey offer a unique opportunity for your school to learn about the world of these amazing birds through participatory activities, question-and- answer time, and interaction with a live raptor.


All programs last approximately 60 minutes and are designed to complement both the State of Michigan's Grad Level Content Expectations (GLCE) and the Battle Creek Math and Science Kits.
