Raptor Day is coming this weekend!
Saturday, July 17, 6am – 1pm
Join us for our inaugural Raptor Day on Saturday, July 17! We’ll open at 6 a.m. so that visitors can come in bright and early to observe the birds that grace the Arboretum. Kenny Elvin, falconer and ornithologist at Full Circle Falconry, is bringing his hawks, falcons, and owls for flight presentations at 10 a.m. and noon. There will be guided bird walks and information tables by several organizations to help us all understand more about raptors and wildlife.
Kenny Elvin’s fun and interactive presentation includes raptor biology, conservation, and natural history. Visitors can meet the birds and observe their flight and predation behaviors. Kenny has been a falconer for almost 20 years. He’s found a niche doing educational work along with hunting and avian pest control. He loves to work with an energetic and informed audience!
Regular admission fees apply. Please pay admission online in advance, or by depositing cash or check to UC Regents in our pay tubes in our visitor parking lot. Free admission for members, volunteers, UCSC students, and children under 6.
