| When was the last time you felt the wind of a hawk's wing as it passed over your head? Or witnessed the powerful silent beauty of a Great Horned Owl, as it stared through huge yellow eyes at you? Have you ever seen a Golden Eagle from only a few feet away?
On June 13th and 20th, The Boerne Convention and Visitors Bureau and Last Chance Forever, The Bird of Prey Conservancy are partnering together to bring "Wings Over Boerne", an extraordinary, one of a kind experience.
Last Chance Forever is a non profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and release of sick, injured and orphaned hawks, falcons, eagles, owls and vultures. In addition to caring for the birds each day, Last Chance Forever presents educational and entertaining demonstrations to children, civic organizations, tour groups, and interested individuals.
Last Chance Forever has choreographed a very special bird of prey demonstration, including a flying demonstration, on the lawn of The Boerne Visitors Center, located in the beautiful Historic Kingsbury House. Under the lush canopy of heritage live oaks you can have a rare up close encounter with these magnificent aerial sky hunters, as they silently fly from branch to branch. You will meet an exciting naturalist offering an educational experience with the glorious hawks, owls, eagles and such. Be sure to bring your cameras for a rare photographic opportunity!
If you are interested in more information, please contact The Boerne Visitors Center at 830-249-7277.
The Visitors Center is at 1407 S. Main, next to the Wal-Mart. Demonstrations begin at 11:00am, 1:00pm and 3:00pm, on June 13 & 20.
