Walking on two legs, having feathers, and laying eggs are just a few of the traits modern birds share with their dinosaur relatives. Today, Wyoming is home to a diverse group of predatory birds that would make their ancestors proud!
Join Kateri the Golden Eagle and Melissa Hill as they share the amazing adaptations of Wyoming’s birds of prey and how they have become some of North America’s top predators. This presentation is free - Donations welcome |
