Hawk Watch Fest

Join us for our annual celebration of Hawk Migration!

Greenwich Audubon Center is thrilled to announce our annual celebration of the importance of birds of prey and their incredible migratory journeys. This all-ages event will feature hawk & bird related activities for the whole family to promote the importance of raptor conservation.

Attendees will be able to enjoy meeting hawks & owls up close during Live Raptor Presentations by falconers & local wildlife rehabilitators, as well as learn how to identify the dozens of species of migratory hawks, eagles, falcons and vultures over our heads during Raptor Identification Workshops. Activities for kids will include Owl Pellet dissections, bird migration games, meet & greets with our center’s reptiles & live music by special guest and birding social media star BONNER BLACK.
