The Desert Open | Falconry Demonstration

Adam Baz of Hawk on Hand is a professional falconer, biologist, and all-around outdoorsman. His work studying birds of prey has taken him throughout the mountains and deserts of California and Oregon, and he now specializes in urban falconry in LA. He offers interactive experiences where participants can hold and fly these majestic creatures.

This Intro to Falconry is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with birds of prey. You will be taught how to hold and fly trained birds in a natural setting, and you’ll get ample time with the birds directly. You’ll meet three species of birds, including a baby owl and a huge exotic hawk, and learn about falconry history, equipment, and raptor conservation.
