How do you make friends with a bird or prey? Why would a wild raptor, flying free, swoop down to land on the glove of a six-foot tall mammal with below-average speed and eyesight? And who is training whom? Join Henry Walters, master falconer and founder of Monadnock Falconry, along with his hawk Mahood for a hands-on introduction to this fascinating partnership between human beings and a wild bird of prey. Great for families and nature enthusiasts of all ages.
