New England Birds of Prey

Join this virtual pre-recorded program of Birds of Prey of New England with Jim Parks and Julie Anne Collier from Wingmasters, which features raptors from the hawk, falcon and owl categories. The focus of this program is to show the similarities and differences these birds share as well as their different hunting adaptations. 

The raptors featured in this program are all native to New England and include the Red-tailed hawk, Peregrine Falcon, American Kestrel and the Great Horned Owl. Also included is a slideshow of photo images taken by Jim Parks over the last 30 years.

***This is an online event. Registered participants will be sent a link to the Zoom meeting prior to the program***

Please register for the live question and answer session for New England Birds of Prey separately.


WINGMASTERS is a partnership of two people dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of North American birds of prey. Julie Anne Collier and Jim Parks are both licensed raptor rehabilitators based in Massachusetts. Together they care for injured birds of prey at their center in Leverett, Massachusetts. Most of the birds they rehabilitate can ultimately be released back into the wild, but in some cases the birds are left permanently handicapped. Julie and Jim are further licensed to provide a home for these nonreleasable raptors, and to use them for educational programs. Since 1994 WINGMASTERS has presented over 10,000 programs at schools, libraries and museums throughout New England.

Registration for this event has now closed.
