SUMMARY:Birds of Prey Ski Championships
DESCRIPTION:We are SO excited to announce that we will be returning to Beaver Creek this year\, for resumption of the Men’s World Cup Alpine Ski Races! The event was held in Europe last year due to Covid\, and everyone involved in this huge effort is excited to gather again and witness the very finest downhill ski racers from around the world compete on the Birds of Prey course. \n  \nBut as the photo above reminds us\, we have one member of our team that won’t be around this year. We lost Blondie on April 18th\, and her passing has left an indescribable void in our lives\, both personal and professional. However\, we are so grateful to the Vail Valley Foundation who are going to be doing a video tribute to Blondie on Friday\, December 3rd\, in advance of the first day of Super G competition. After much discussion with the race organizers\, all while taking new Covid protocols into account\, we’ll be bringing our six-year old female bald eagle to the event. Even though she’s larger by weight and wingspan than Blondie was in her later years\, she still has some big talons to fill. It goes without saying that “the world” loved Blondie; the top athletes from countries like Austria\, Norway and Italy all can claim the golden eagle as a resident. But the races begin each day with the playing of the Star Spangled Banner…Anne is pumping iron and cannot wait to show off our national symbol to the world! Be sure to check out the schedule (and NBC Sports for TV coverage) at Xfinity Birds of Prey.

Our videos from previous photo safaris show you what to expect.  You can book both or just one of the options to test your skills and equipment as we provide ten of our raptors for no more than 15 photographers at each session.

SUMMARY:Raptor Photo Safari
DESCRIPTION:Capture The Moment! \nOnce again\, we are offering 15 photographers an exceptional opportunity for testing their equipment and skills to capture some of the world’s iconic predators\, while they are posed in natural settings.

SUMMARY:Raptor ID Course
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Saturday\, September 21st\, for “Masters of the Colorado Sky”\, our newest raptor identification course. CPW Raptor Monitor Karen Metz and Curator Anne Price will showcase approximately ten of Colorado’s most common diurnal raptors live in our classroom\, with slides of other similar species for comparison. There will be special emphasis on the wing shape\, flight style\, and distinct markings of each genus or “type” of raptor that we commonly see here in Colorado. The approximately two-and-a-half hour class will conclude with a tour of our exterior mews (raptor housing). Space is limited to twenty participants. The fall migration will be well under way by September\, so you won’t want to miss this great opportunity to sharpen your raptor ID skills!  Early bird special is $50\, which expires the last day of July. August 1\, the price is $60.

SUMMARY:All About Owls
DESCRIPTION:Our first date sold out quickly\, so we have scheduled a second date for our most popular program featuring seven owl species with eight different birds. From our new snowy owl\, all the way down to our eastern screech owls\, you will be intimately immersed into the nocturnal and diurnal worlds of some of nature’s most accomplished predators. \nCurator Anne Price\, author and biologist\, will take you on a magical mystery tour into the very secretive lives of owls. Colorado’s own Florissant formation yielded the world’s first barn owl ancestor\, dating back to 65 million years ago; during this program you’ll meet the modern barn owl\, a native to every continent on earth except Antarctica. \nThese well-adapted avian predators number twenty species in the United States and you’ll enjoy meeting eight of them up close: the barn owl\, great-horned owl\, red and gray morph eastern screech owls\, barred owl\, short-eared owl\, snowy owl\, and the burrowing owl.
