Splat Symphony
Awesome fun for our youngest Eagles! All the fun and none of the cleanup! Not only can you create a "splat painting" by flinging various color and size balls of paint at a blank canvas, but you can HEAR your art, too, since every splat color and placement has a different sound. You can then click the music button to "play" your painting.

Birds of prey, also known as raptors, are a common sight in the skies. During the program, we will take an up-close look at a live Red-Tailed Hawk to discuss the important body structures and their functions. We will investigate the hawk’s diet, their role in the food web, the habitats in which they are found, and the adaptations that allow them to be such powerful predators.

Scientists consider prairie dogs to be a keystone species that affect many aspects of the environment. Join us and our rodent guest star as we discuss the prairie dog’s importance in the ecosystem and their amazing adaptations. Many animals rely on prairie dogs in a variety of ways; their complex underground burrows provide habitat for several species, and they are a food source to many predators. We will also discuss prairie dog structures, their functions, and delve more into their underground habitats. Don't miss this great opportunity to see this rarely seen critter!
