About

Raptors Wild is a non-profit educational organization run by master falconers. Reconfigured from a fly-over show due to COVID, the falconers are on hand to explain what makes each bird unique. The birds work in the off-season, and spend their summers lounging in a cooled storefront, educating all. Also known as Wings Over the Rockies, their birds span from Eurasian eagle owls to peregrine falcons. Run by a master falconer of 44 years, these noble raptors are even more incredible up close.

Update: Raptor's Wild has permanently closed.
