THIS EVENT IS STILL BEING HELD DESPITE FORECASTED RAIN. All advertised activities with the exception of Bird Banding on Sunday 9/24 will be held inside the Greenwich Audubon Center building.

Greenwich Audubon Center is thrilled to announce our two-day celebration of the importance of birds of prey and their incredible migratory journeys. While not of the large scale of our previous Fall Festivals, this all-ages event will feature hawk & bird related activities for the whole family to promote the importance of raptor conservation.

Attendees will be able to enjoy meeting hawks & owls up close during Live Raptor Presentations by falconers & local wildlife rehabilitators as well as learn how to identify the dozens of species of migratory hawks, eagles, falcons and vultures over our heads during Raptor Identification Workshops. Activities for kids will include Owl Pellet dissections and meet & greets with our center's reptiles.
