Birds of prey are also known as raptors, and they are hunting birds characterized by hooked beaks and powerful grabbing feet armed with sharp talons (the word raptor comes from a Latin word that means "to seize"). Raptors can also boast the best eyesight and the sharpest hearing in the animal kingdom. Raptors include hawks, falcons and owls, and this presentation, which incorporates 6 LIVE birds of prey, all native to New England, gives an overview of these different categories. The program is designed to explain predation, the birds' place at the top of the food web, their different hunting adaptations and their status in a rapidly changing world. Because many birds of prey are declining in number, this presentation also features one or more of the endangered raptors that WINGMASTERS cares for, and explains why these species face an uncertain future. Ages 6+ only Registration not required but space is limited. For the birds' well-being and for the safety of the audience, our raptors are handled only by Julie and Jim, and are under our control at all times. They are never flown for demonstration. https://crawfordlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/birds-of-prey/

Rope flow is a low-impact movement practice where you spin a weighted rope in fluid, continuous patterns to improve mobility, coordination, and athletic timing, rather than jumping with it like a traditional jump rope. The practice involves using your whole body, particularly the spine and hips, to control the rope's movement through a series of underhand and overhand figure-eights and other patterns, fostering a sense of play, rhythm, and a "flow state". It serves as a form of full-body exercise and moving meditation, enhancing rotational strength and reducing stress.   All equipment is supplied. Space limited to 10 people Join Kate from UP LIFT, The Art of Strength and Balance LLC, as she guides you through a new and low-impact way to move your body and relax your mind. https://crawfordlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/rope-flow-with-kate-2/
