“Where do I start? This experience was AMAZING! We did the “Hawk Walk” package. We started off at the house and met several exotic birds and got a chance to handle almost each one. Jim was awesome. He was incredibly easy to get along with, and he had so much knowledge on the birds. You can tell he was very passionate about what he does. He knew each bird and their personalities. “Boogie” was probably the coolest bird I’ve ever met in my life. Jim carefully taught each one of us how to properly handle the birds while also displaying patience with the children. Everything was perfect. After the “Meet and Greet” with the birds, he then brought us out for the Falconry piece down the street. I was amazed about how well trained “Boom-a-rang” was. The bird just casually followed us around while on the trail responding to all of Jim’s little whistles. We had an amazing time learning the falconry. I could not believe the kids were so comfortable with the bird. Jim was so good in giving everyone direction and instruction. Everyone got a couple chances to work with the bird. I’m going to be telling everyone about this experience for awhile. We are definitely coming back for another “Hawk Walk” and I am really excited to come for the hunting package in the fall as well!”

“We had an incredible experience. It was our 5 and 7 year old kids, my husband and me. None of us were experienced birders, although our 7 year old is a lover of all birds of prey. Jim was our guide and was spectacular. Informative, patient, wonderful with the animals, responsive to our various interests. The pacing of the experience was perfect. The grounds were incredibly beautiful, we were thrilled to meet the Cullens, who were welcoming and lovely. The intimacy of the experience made the day one of the best days of our summer.”

“We need to tell you my Husband and I along with our best friends had such a great experience yesterday on our May 1st hawk walk. Jim’s passion, knowledge and patience to deal with our never ending curiosities totally made the day. We learned so much and really loved the program. We wish Jim the bet of luck in realizing his goal to get back to Africa and work with the incredible Vultures. ”

“My parents and I were introduced to a variety of hawks, falcons and owls. We took the Harris Hawks out to the open field, where they flew to our gloves; also had some time with the 22 year old harris in a tighter vicinity. Ended the day with a baby Black Vulture. Jim was extremely informative and an excellent guide. This was a fantastic experience.”

“I brought my husband for an early birthday gift along with our 5 year old daughter and another friend of ours and her 5 year old son. We started out hearing about some of the birds sitting at a table. Drinks were provided and we were very comfortable.
We all got to have a bird perch on our wrists. This was so cool! We took pictures and then shared them to Facebook.
We then took a hike while Boomerang followed us. We were again able to put on a glove and feed Boomerang.
It was such an incredible experience for everyone! The children had a lot of fun asking questions and Jim was AMAZING! He was so smart and shared so much information with us!”

“My family and I experienced an informative morning in a beautiful setting. From the moment we arrived ,we felt comfortable and in very knowledgeable hands. In addition to being up close with the birds, we were given the opportunity to hold each one and ask a ton of questions. At no time did we ever feel rushed or made to feel any question was unimportant. We thank you for a great fun filled experience!”
