Our group of 8 met in Maple Bay for a hearty lunch at The Lion Rampant, before heading to the nearby Pacific Northwest Raptors Centre. After a brief introduction by a guide, we strolled through the forested grounds viewing diverse raptors in naturalized enclosures. Then we were seated between the woods and an open field, where we enjoyed a unique flight demonstration by a vulture, eagle, owl and falcon as they circled freely overhead and flew back and forth (for treats!) between two handlers.
