I live about 2 minutes from the World Center for Birds of Prey, so naturally I would be a program donor. As part of this, I have the opportunity to get early access to their annual fall flights program. Each and every time I attend, I learn something new. My mom joined me again this year. It was an absolutely perfect day.
I spend the first five minutes kind of terrified, as they fly the birds literally right over your head. To the point that I can feel the air force from their wings.
It is super interesting to learn about the prey birds and the work that the peregrine fund is doing.
I have a friend that worked at the center in the late 90's. I sent her pictures that day. She told me that she loved her work there and was part of the first condor release in the Grand Canyon.
If you ever get an opportunity to visit the center or attend the fall flights, it is well worth it.
