Experience the anticipation and thrill, as a trained bird of prey—with wings spread and talons extended—swoops toward you and gently lands on your outstretched hand.
At the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, every Saturday from 3-4 p.m. in the fountain courtyard, you'll learn the history and basic techniques of falconry, as well as the important role that raptors play in maintaining balance in our natural environment. This will be a rare chance to interact with Floyd, our resident hawk plus meet 3 of the other birds of prey: an adult hawk, juvenile hawk and a Saker falcon.
