RaptorFest '08

RaptorFest was a hit! Visitors came to Briar Bush on Saturday, Oct. 4 to enjoy raptor-related crafts, dissect owl pellets (balls of feathers/fur/bones that owls regurgitate), see a live presentation of "The Lorax," and the highlight of the day, a live raptor presentation by falconer Mike Dupuy. Check out the slideshow to see Mike and his Harris Hawk (dark brown), Northern Goshawk (white stripe above eyes) and Saker Falcon (brown and white speckled chest).
