Experience Raptors and Falconry

Overview

A GROUP of attendees are given the opportunity for a unique experience into the life of a Raptor with an up close and personal encounter with Hawks, Falcons and Owls.

With the assistance of a licensed Falconer, you will learn the biology, conservation, field identification, traits, behaviors, natural history, and the importance of raptors.

Following a brief instruction guests will be fitted with a gauntlet and join a trained Hawk on a short walk – witness the agility and skill as she flies from perch to perch while swooping back to the Falconer’s gauntlet.

Wonderful experience. I learned so much about falcons, hawks and owls. And even handled a hawk. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in birds and falconry. Kathleen is super knowledgeable and friendly. Don't miss this chance to see birds in action.

Bucket List!!! Informative, exhilarating, hands-on. We “held” three types of raptors—hawk, falcon, and one very large owl. The hawk flew and landed on our gloved hands. Remarkable! Well worth the 35 minute drive from Reno. A huge thanks to our falconer Kathleen.
