5.00It 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.
