GREAT FALLS — Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks will host several presentations in Great Falls for people to learn about raptors.

FWP said in a news release that education staff and educational ambassador birds will present three forums on Monday, August 29, 2022.

Attendees will learn about some of Montana’s most powerful predators - the raptor family - which includes birds of prey such as hawks and falcons.
