On next Saturday, October 1st. the Hudson River Audubon Society hosts their annual Hawk Day and Live Raptor Show. One of the best features is that it is absolutely free, no cost.
At 1:00 Jim Eyring Director of Pace University Environmental Center and a professional falconer will introduce you to his live owls, hawks and falcons. Jim, who puts on the best program you will ever see, is well known for being both entertaining and educational. I’ve seen his program at least a dozen times and learn something new each time. Children of all ages love his program.
After his presentation, Jim takes his birds to the field and lets them fly. You will watch a falcon soar into the sky and then swoop down mere inches over your head chasing a lure. An amazing sight you will long remember.
The program takes place at Lenoir Nature Preserve, a county park in Westchester, in northern Yonkers.
Driving directions: From Saw Mill River Parkway take Exit 9, Executive Boulevard. Continue on Executive Blvd until it dead ends at North Broadway. Turn right on N. Broadway. Go ¼ mile and turn left onto Dudley Street. Parking for Lenoir Preserve is on the left, with additional parking available on N. Broadway.
Don’t miss this program. Be there if you can.

I look forward to this event every year. I have attended a number of times and I am still awed by the size and beauty of the species. Mr. Eyring is a engaging lecturer with a great sense of humor. It is well worh the time to come to Lenoir to see the Raptors in flight!
I highly recommend it.
