BETHEL – Soon, Maine’s hawks and eagles should be migrating back to their spring and summer hunting grounds.
For those who can’t wait to catch a glimpse of them, the Mahoosuc Land Trust is hosting a Bird of Prey program with live non-releasable birds at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 24, in Bingham Auditorium at Gould Academy.
In the trust’s third Local Knowledge series this winter, an outreach educator from the Chewonki Foundation of Wiscasset is to compare and contrast the special hunting adaptations of nocturnal and diurnal raptors.
The Traveling Natural History Lesson program reveals the relationships between the form and function of talons, sharp curved beaks, and wing and tail shapes of birds of prey, while allowing the audience to examine feet, wings and skull specimens.
Admission is free. For more information, phone 824-3806.
