Raptor Encounters
Killington welcomes the Vermont Institute of Natural Science and their feathered friends for a unique, hands-on encounter.
Thu Feb 21 - Thu Feb 21 - 7:00 p.m.
Oscar Wilde Room, Killington Grand Hotel
The Killington Grand Hotel will host predators-on-the-wing for the whole family with this special presentation in the Oscar Wilde Room.
VINS Program Description
Live falcons, hawks and owls provide the lens through which we examine food webs, predator-prey relationships and the interdependence of the systems that support life. This first-hand encounter enables participants to understand the defining characteristics that make a bird a raptor, and their adaptations for life as a predator on the wing. Touchable artifacts and hands-on materials round out this special experience.
Program will be free of charge.
