We loved handling the birds, learning about them and watching them fly from person to person in our family as we walked. Only 6 people at a time, so a very personal experience! The guide was so knowledgeable and patient. We learned so much more about them and could ask ALL the questions! A definite step up from the traditional Renaissance Festival experience of just watching a presentation. I highly recommend! Once in a lifetime experience!

We are now closed through the winter bookings are available after April 2. 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.

Absolutely amazing and well worth it. Getting to see the raptors up close and watching the hawk fly at me and land on my hand was incredible. Kathleen was super knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience, way more than expected. Fascinating, beauiful birds expertly and entertainingly interpreted. A gem of a small adventure.

Kathleen was very knowledgeable about her raptors and very patient with us novices who had many questions. I would highly recommend this adventure if you love raptors.

One of the best experiences we’ve had traveling. Kathleen is very knowledgable and patient in answering all questions completely and obviously cares a great deal about these birds. Being able to have a falcon, hawk, or owl on your hand and to view the birds up close and in flight makes it impossible to not have a greater understanding and appreciation of these amazing animals.
