Birds of Prey presented by Miller’s Wildlife

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a bird of prey? These mighty hunters, also known as raptors, are specialized to catch their own meals–but the way each species does it is unique! During the Birds of Prey program, Miller’s Wildlife will take you under their wing and teach you about the distinct characteristics of a variety of raptors. From “feathered missiles” to “wolves of the sky,” this program will take your understanding of raptors to new heights!

Miller’s Wildlife was founded in 2019 by Patrick Miller with a mission to foster an appreciation for all things wild by bringing the “wild” to you! Through a variety of educational programs with a shared focus on wildlife conservation. Join us to discuss the unique ecology of each animal—that is, the way each animal interacts with their ecosystem—and discover ways that YOU can help them in the wild! By using knowledge, humor, and ecological enthusiasm, Miller’s Wildlife aims to inspire others to protect the natural world!
