Raptors of the Desert Sky is back at the High Desert Museum. The outdoor flight demonstration happens every day at 11:30 a.m. through Labor Day, but buying tickets early is key.
Visitors can see hawks, owls, falcons and turkey vultures fly from perch to perch directly over the crowd seated at the amphitheater. A museum expert narrates what’s going on.
“The outdoor flight program is a highlight of the High Desert Museum summer season,” said Museum Executive Director Dana Whitelaw in a statement. “It’s a special experience to see these birds so close and witness their power and beauty while learning about their incredible adaptations that allow them to thrive in their habitats.”
