Registration Open for Raptor Day

"The Greater Yellowstone Raptor Experience" is coming to the Rockpile Museum on Saturday, February 9, 2013 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.!  Melissa Hill, Assistant Curator of the Draper Museum of Natural History at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, WY, will be bringing four of her feathered friends to visit the museum and help us to understand the predator/prey relationship while learning the special characteristics that allow raptors to succeed in nature and ultimately learn just how difficult it is to be a wild animal – predator or prey!

This free event is open to children ages pre-school to 12 years old, accompanied by a parent or grandparent.  Call 682-5723 to reserve your spot today, as space is limited.

In conjunction with our morning Family Day event for children and parents, ALL community members are invited to stop by during an Open House from 12:15 p.m to 1:00 p.m. on Feb. 9th to visit with Melissa and meet Teasdale the Great Horned Owl, Hayabusa the Peregrine Falcon, Isham the Red-tailed Hawk, and Suli the Turkey Vulture.  The open house is open to the Public no reservations required.
