Enraptured by the raptors - It was a fabulous experience. Kathleen was incredible - sharing her knowledge, while giving us opportunities to have the raptors on gauntlets on our arms. It was up close and personal. We also got to watch the Harris’ Hawk fly and come in and land on our arm. I would highly recommend this and will definitely bring others to e patience it, next time I am in the area.

Prepare to be enraptured - This experience was educational and entertaining. Unlike most travel experiences, this one is not crowded with a busload of people. It is small, intimate and a lot of fun. You learn about raptors and experience their skills and abilities. Our guide, Kathleen, is very knowledgeable and easily answered all questions. And yes, you do get to handle the birds. I would do this adventure a second time. I seem to be more observant now when I see a bird of prey in the wild. Give it a try. I don't think that you will be disappointed. It is a one of a kind opportunity.
