Birds of Prey Over Water: Habits and Habitats of Owls and Hawks - Feb 7 at 12pm at Ravensbeard
Join us at Ravensbeard for an immersive workshop exploring the world of raptors that rely on wetlands and riparian habitats. Discover how hawks and owls hunt, nest, and thrive over water while learning about their vital roles in local ecosystems. Participants will have the rare opportunity to spend face-to-face time with live birds of prey and hear captivating stories from Ellen Kalish’s two decades of rescuing and releasing wild raptors. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how aquatic and shoreline habitats shape these remarkable predators’ lives and learn practical conservation steps we can take in the Hudson Valley to help ensure their survival. A Woodstock Land Conservancy event. Reservations required. Donation suggested.

Meet the Team
A few of the resident birds at Ravensbeard are birds that cannot be released back to the wild. They now serve on our educational team. Through customized educational programs, and in-person or Zoom presentations, you can meet the raptors. Learn about their natural history, habitats, unique hunting styles and stories of how they came to be with us.
These birds are not pets and they are still wild animals. Every bird of prey has been vetted to see if they will accept training as educational birds.
We treat them with the utmost respect and value the chance to learn about and admire them.
Our natural world is in peril. Learn to live a sustainable lifestyle through the eyes of birds. Every one of us can make a difference by making a few new lifestyle choices. The ripple effect begins in our backyard.
