With the kids being off school today for Civil Rights Day, we took the opportunity to visit the San Xavier Mission and the Desert Museum. The absolutely BEST experience is the Raptor Free Flight. Each time I see it, I'm amazed anew at the absolute beauty of flight. My favorite Free Flight is when the Harris' Hawk family soars above us. Usually there are four birds out and about, and you are bound to have one fly a foot or less directly above your head. It brings absolute joy and wonder to be so close to wild birds. Here are some photos I took (Next time...I'm bringing my longer lens)!!
