After discussing the birds, the hawks are flown free in the surrounding countryside.

The class was a once in a lifetime experience. Flying Owls and Hawks and handling the birds was an experience we will never forget. Roger and Sarah were amazing (and from Illinois like us) and you could tell they love thier job and Sarah ensured everyone had photos and videos during the classes.

My daughter and I went to this exceptional experience! Roger knows his hawks, falcons, and owls!!! He explained what they are capable of doing, the history, the differences between them. We got to see Kaz fly to the trees and come back to Roger, plus there were 10 of us and we made a tunnel with all our hands in the air in a line, and Kaz flew through it to Roger. We got to have Kaz sit on our arm with a glove on of course, and got pics. They named their raptors after the movie Top Gun. We seen Maverick, Goose, and Iceman. Thank you very much Roger for a wonderful time, we will always remember it!
