The Raptors - Two Hour Raptor Experience

The Raptors is a bird of prey educational and wildlife management center just North of Duncan. My wife and I were heading up North to do some camping and decided to book a two hour Raptor Experience. We were incredibly glad that we did!
We first got some one on one time with various birds of prey on our glove: Harris Hawk, American Kestrel, and Spectacled Owl. We then went to the flying demonstration area to spend some flying time with the American Kestral below.
We then went on a forest walk while a Harris Hawk followed us in the dense underbrush followed by some flying for food on our gloves.
 My wife got a great action shot of a Harris Hawk coming in for a landing.
It was a great experience and would be inclined to do it again or one of their longer programs.
