A raptor’s unmatched strength, keen eyesight, and incredible speed all combine to ensure these fierce foes remain at the top of the food chain…and now YOU can get a birds-eye-view into what makes Raptors oh-so Remarkable. From the dominant size of a Steller’s Sea Eagle (the world’s heaviest eagle) to the strike precision of a Peregrine Falcon (the world’s fastest animal), YOU can explore the incredible adaptations of raptors and other birds of prey!

Remarkable Raptors Presented by S&T Bank runs now through Labor Day Weekend; only at the National Aviary!

Beginning Wed., September 9: Flock to the Forests of the National Aviary, where cascading pumpkins and colorful photo opportunities meet fall festival fun AND feathered friends (including our NEW Harpy Eagle)! 

The National Aviary is overjoyed to welcome a new juvenile female Harpy Eagle to our flock! This one-year-old raptor is the ONLY known Harpy living in the Northeast… AND now she has a name that fits her fierce adaptations and egg-shell colored plumage (that will slowly turn Harpy-gray over the next few years)…introducing…DARIÉNA (Dare EE awn ă), affectionately named by Aviary friends Brian and Sandra Moroney through our Name-A-Bird program.
