An Evening with Raptors

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.

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 biofacts tables. 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 7:30 pm visitors can go into the classrooms to meet the falconers and see their hunting partner birds up-close.
