What's My Wingspan?

Ever wondered how you stack up against some of the largest birds in the sky? Join us as we explore the world of raptors and their incredible adaptations. Learn how these birds' wingspans help them soar, hunt, and thrive in their environments. We'll dive into how Bald Eagles and Ospreys, which you might spot flying over the lake, compare to one another in terms of size, speed, and hunting techniques. Hear their unique calls, discover how their bodies are built for survival, and create your very own bird kite to take home or fly in the park. In the bird world, wingspan means everything; it determines where they live, how fast they can fly, and what they can hunt. Come find out: How do you measure up to these magnificent birds of prey?
