Raptors Up Close

Join us for an exciting opportunity to meet three amazing native Illinois animal ambassadors: an owl, a hawk, and a falcon! 🦉🦅

Discover the significance of these birds of prey as the Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab & Education staff introduces you to their basic anatomy and vital role in the food chain. Learn about the conservation efforts that help protect these magnificent creatures and explore various biological artifacts like wings, feathers, tails, and pellets! 🌿✨

🐦 Note: The birds will not be free-flying; each ambassador will be securely held by a handler during the presentation.

This event is supported by the Friends of the DeKalb Public Library and is FREE to attend, making it perfect for school-age children! No registration is required.
