Visiting the World Center for Birds of Prey just south of Boise

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On August 9, 2024 I visited the World Center for Birds of Prey operated by The Peregrine Fund. It is located just south of Boise, off of Cole Road on Flying Hawk Lane. (On December 31, 2022 I blogged about Birds and a world of wonder).

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Their first outside display, of course, is about the Peregrine Falcon.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There also is a California Condor display, and others.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Inside there are lots of displays. One pair of walls is about the quest to save birds of prey.

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a classroom we were treated to a flying display with a pair of burrowing owl siblings, Alexa and Pretzel.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There also are separate indoor areas housing a Gyrfalcon, an Ornate Hawk-Eagle, a Great Horned Owl, a Harpy Eagle, and a Aplomado Falcon.
