The Birds of Prey Show - Skyhunters in Flight

Marvel at the sight of a falcon and a hawk hunting down a man-made lure at the direction of master falconer Brian Bradley. Falcons fly in excess of 100 miles per hour and have been used to hunt wild game for more than 4,000 years. Roger Williams described Native Americans in the 1600s using the raptors to protect their cornfields from depredations by crows and other birds.

This event was hosted by the
Nimham Mountain Singers
