About

  • If you are obsessed with falcons, this is the class for you. In the Falcon Excursion we take up to four people to watch one of our falcons stoop to the lure; an opportunity to witness their speed and agility. Next is our interactive falcon frolic; wandering through an oak forest and the Sweet Vengeance gold mine as our falcon flies glove to glove and tree to tree. We will discuss the art of falconry, the natural history of falcons and their role in the environment. This is a one of a kind experience.
  • This experience is 1.5 hours and everyone has a chance to have a falcon on their glove for portrait-style pictures.
