July 3: Raptors: High flying, fast swooping predators at Whiting

Raptors are amazing predators that soar, swoop and dive—some are even silent. Learn what makes raptors unique, the differences between native raptor species, and why they are important to the environment. Participants will discover the world of raptors through pictures, hands-on items, biofacts and other engaging activities that give them a raptor’s perspective.

The program is 1 to 2 p.m. at Whiting Library, 117 Main St. in Chester.

This family program is recommended for children ages 4 and up and includes time for making a relevant and fun craft.
