This Saturday, the Science Factory Children’s Museum and Planetarium will host a team of educators from the Cascades Raptor Center for the annual Bird of Prey Day. The majesty of fl ying, masterful hunters from above is quite often shrugged off with the notion that “birds are boring,” but think again, kids — these birds can spot a teenie-weenie little mouse from the freakin’ sky! And even if your eyes were that good, you sure wouldn’t be agile enough to swoop down and pick up your dinner in a glorious display of fi nesse and natural selection. This educational day will feature fun, family-oriented learning time, demonstrations and, of course, live feathered friends. Caaaawwww!
