Willink entrance, Flatbush Ave. near Empire Boulevard Prospect Park Zoo "Ki-wee, ki-wee, ki-wee!" That's a greeting from the Prospect Park Zoo's pair of American kestrel falcons, Guinevere and Arthur. The birds perch in a newly designed wooded habitat just outside the Discovery Center. Listen closely, and you may hear the characteristic high-pitched call for yourself. Visitors to the Discovery Center can peer at these petite birds of prey through a floor-to-ceiling viewing window. The Zoo also provides binoculars and birding guides at the exhibit so curious birdwatchers can study the other local natives flying nearby. The Discovery Center is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays between 11am and 3pm. 450 Flatbush Avenue
