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.

We had such a great time at our raptor experience today. We were first welcomed by Chief, the friendliest dog, and we weren’t even out of our car yet. We were then greeted by Kathleen, our raptor expert. Kathleen had snacks and drinks set out for us. She was so welcoming and so very informative. We learned so much and we got to hold an owl, a falcon, and a hawk. We got up close and personal with Louise, an Eurasian Eagle Owl, Sabey, a Saker Falcon, and Zulu, a Harris’ Hawk. This was a bucket list dream for me, so it was especially meaningful. To be up close to such amazing creatures is mind blowing. Thank you so much for allowing my husband and me the opportunity to learn about and be near your raptors. Everybody who is considering doing this experience, please do it! You won’t regret it!!!

We traveled 100 miles to Reno for this experience and it was worth it! The birds were AMAZING (have you ever looked an owl in its beautiful eyes or a had a hawk land on your hand from a swooping dive?!). The instructor was both knowledgeable and elegant. We LOVED this experience and highly recommend it ♥️
