How do raptors fly without flapping their wings?
Turkey vultures zipping along on the breeze are a common site in the northeast as the weather turns cool. In this episode, host Jane Lindholm visits VINS, a nature center and bird rehab facility in Quechee, Vermont to learn about the science of soaring. Anna Morris, an environmental educator at VINS, and education ambassador Northfield, a Harris Hawk, help us get up close and personal with some of the birds that soar. The specific wind conditions and WING conditions needed for this kind of flight are explored and explained. | View / Print Lesson Plan |
