Birds Are Dinosaurs — Meet Live Birds of Prey!
What did 65 million years of evolution turn the dinosaurs into? Birds!
Celebrating “Unearth a Story,” the Vermont Institute of Natural Science is excited to introduce you to some live birds of prey and learn all about their dinosaur ancestry together. We’ll explore the ways modern birds became masters of the air, and understand the immense timescale over which these dinosaur-descendants adapted!
Free and open to all ages. No registration is required. This event is part of the Brooks Memorial Library’s “Unearth A Story” Adult Summer Reading program.
