Raptor ambassadors and their handlers teach the public about their species, habitat, and prevalence in the local area. Fantastic free opportunity for all ages to learn and see. Donations support the facility and their conservation projects. Ample parking in a short grassy field. Wear comfortable shoes and consider bringing a chair. We will be back next year for the Hawk Watch!

Amazing, incredibly informative hawk and owl talk. Word of mouth is making this more and more popular because you get a chance to see some rescued birds up close. They also set up telescopes so you can see the native and migrating raptors.

A group of us went to Wildlife Research Institute while camping in the area. What a great event to go to - Hawk Watch. They had Red-Tailed Hawks, Owls, and other birds of prey.At the same time there were more eagles, hawks, and turkey vultures flying in the area!Lots of information and views of the birds of prey in the Ramona Grasslands.

The institute put on a great day at the Hawk watch in Ramona. These birds of prey are beautiful. WRI is doing good work to save their habitat. Saw a pair of nesting bald eagles in the tops of trees in the preserve.

This is an excellent community and environmental organization. Rehabilitating raptors and returning them to the wild. Live demonstrations on weekends join certain times...including right now!

These people know their business when it comes to caring for the wildlife here in Ramona. We rescued a Red Tail Hawk from our yard and they took it right in. They informed us they would release it back into wild around the same area it was found.
