The whole team made us feel welcome and safe. Michaela, Jorel and Deanna were fantastic hosts. It is obvious that Deanna is passionate about her job and the energy she brought to our visit was infectious. I’m not sure what I expected from this experience, but this team definitely exceeded any expectations for an introduction to Falconry that I had in mind. It was informational, exciting, and above all accessible. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I was late and was given options. The falconer was pleasant and informative. And last but not least …the birds.

We were fortunate to join the "Raptor Lady" for a really fun Falconry experience. Not only getting to see and learn about a number of birds of prey, we got to get up close and personally meet 5 hawks, 2 owls and then experience the flight and the hunt with a Harris falcon. Great afternoon! Weather was perfect and the hawks did not disappoint. One even flew from a tree to swoop down and grab a vole! Exciting and educational! Would love to come back to do "level two" - intermediate falconry!!

I totally enjoyed the falconry experience. Deanna our guide was informative, knowledgeable and engaging. I loved both parts of the session starting in the raptor center where we got to see various owls, falcons and hawks and got a quick lesson in the history of falconry! The walk with a hawk, (maverick) was the most amazing part of the experience. The way he flew out of sight then came back, and his hunting demo with the raccoon tail was also very cool. Highly recommend.

Just being out in nature and being able to observe the birds was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I could tell it was her love. This activity was by far the best for me and I recommend it for everyone.

My family and I had a great experience with the beginner falconry lesson. The look of awe and excitement on my six-year-old’s face throughout the activity makes me think it will be a memory that will stick with her for many years. Even though my daughter can be shy with new people and experiences, she was so excited to hold a falcon. Deanna, the falconer, had many intriguing stories and facts to share with the adults and kids in our small group. Even as an adult, getting up close to these majestic birds was such a unique experience. We’d definitely recommend the falconry experience for families with elementary school kids.

We were a multi-generational family on tour and all three generations thoroughly enjoyed the falconry class. Deanne was very dynamic and informative. I would take this class over and over as the birds are magnificent and their behavior changes with the conditions. Our 9 year announced after the class that he would like to be a falconer.

We took the beginner's course with Deanna. She is amazing with the birds, and she has a real passion for them. We really loved the demonstrations with the hawks and owls. We learned so much about falconry from Deanna as she is a very good instructor. We will definitely come back for the intermediate course. As an added note, we enjoyed little Juliet - we hope they will be able to keep her. Deanna and others are already attached to her! Just sayin.
