In 2007, HawkQuest had an impact on almost 1.5 million people:

In lectures, HawkQuest brings live Birds of Prey to people of all ages, from preschool children to senior citizens. The audience is able to observe the specially adapted tools of the owl, the incredible talons and six-foot wingspan of the magnificent eagle, the special aerodynamic features of the falcon and the precision flying of the Harris' hawk.

HawkQuest's "feathered teachers" -- eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons -- can be observed from just a few feet away at booths and special events such as Native American Markets, Renaissance Festivals, educational symposia and craft fairs across the United States. Knowledgeable HawkQuest staff and volunteers enjoy sharing their expertise with members of the public eager to learn more about these birds.

HawkQuest's unique Classroom-in-the-Wild program gives participants the opportunity to view the predator-prey experience at close range. Participants observe the cooperative hunting skills of the hawks and achieve a greater appreciation for these magnificent birds and their role in the predator-prey relationship.
