Watch a trained hawk swoop past you and get up close to a Falcom, owl, and the majestic bald eagle. Hear about the fascinating lives of these native birds of prey. Participants should bring a blanket or low lawn chairs to sit on, a camera, and clothes for being outdoors. All ages welcome. Cost is $10 per adult and $5 children under 18. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a registered adult.

“Birds of prey are absolutely beautiful animals,” says Kin Quitagua, director of Hawkquest of their non-releasable birds.  “We use our birds as a tool to help people understand and connect with nature in Colorado.”

To reserve your seat, pre-registration is highly recommended before the day of the event. Walk-ins allowed only as space is available..

HawkQuest‘s goal is to make education both meaningful and fun, while creating an atmosphere which fosters respect for our land and the stewardship of all living things. Our message concerning the importance of biodiversity, of the finality of extinction, and of man’s need to nurture his world is interwoven with discussions of the raptors’ place in our ecosystem.
