Arizona Highways magazine has picked the ASDM's Raptor Free Flight program as one of their "Best of AZ: 100 of our favorite things".
Best Flight Demonstration
Raptor Show, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum -
Tucson: For the "Raptor Free Flight" demonstration at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, cages have been cast aside so visitors can see birds of prey glide, flap, pinwheel and dart in their natural habitat. The program began in 1996 with three Harris' hawks, and has since expanded to 17 birds, including five more species of raptors: the ferruginous hawk, grey hawk, prairie falcon, great horned owl and barn owl.
