It’s the ultimate partnership between man and bird! The sport of falconry goes back thousands of years and is still a popular sport today.
Join Powder Valley staff as area falconers gather to offer the rare chance to observe and learn about these fascinating feathered hunters. Listen as a new falconer explains her journey to get started in this age-old sport.
The falconers will display their falconry equipment, hoods, and other equipment, as well as live birds – the birds that they use in their sport. You will have the opportunity to ask the falconry team questions and see their hunting partners up close.
Doors will open at 6 pm. Between 6 and 7 pm, visitors can tour the exhibits and visit tables to learn about Missouri's birds of prey at a biofacts table. They can create a take-home bird of prey craft and also meet members of the Powder Valley naturalist team.
At 7 pm, the auditorium doors will open for the presentation and at 8 pm visitors can go into the classrooms to meet the falconers and see their hunting partner birds up-close.
