While on vacation recently, I was able to watch the very talented Jim Tigan and Kathleen Collins (owners of Raptor Adventures and Tactical Avian Predators) lecture and demonstrate their birds of prey while staying at Skamania Lodge. Jim and Kathleen brought 4 birds: one owl and three hawks.
During their demonstrations, I worked hard on getting good angles on the birds while also getting good angles and expressions of the Jim and Kathleen. I think the birds faired better than their handlers. This was an amazing demonstration of the birds – flying and working. Jim and Kathleen did a great job engaging the audience (kids and adults) in what they were doing. A mixture of humor and serious content made for a very engaging presentation & demonstration.
If you make it out to the area of Stevenson, WA, stop by Skamania Lodge on the weekends and check out this incredible opportunity to see these birds and their handlers.
