Orange County Bird of Prey Center’s Raptor Ecotrek

Engagement
Orange County Bird of Prey Center's Raptor Ecotrek

Your journey begins with an exclusive, up-close introduction to the Education Ambassadors of the Orange County Bird of Prey Center—a dedicated wildlife rehabilitation organization that rescues and releases injured owls, eagles, hawks, and falcons. These remarkable birds, unable to return to the wild due to injuries or behavioral challenges, now serve as ambassadors for their species. You’ll have the rare opportunity to observe them up close, learn about their unique adaptations and hunting styles, and, of course, snap some incredible photos!

Next, hop into a 4-wheel drive vehicle for a scenic 9-mile tour through the stunning, secluded Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve. Along the way, we’ll pause to soak in panoramic views, capture memorable photos, and keep an eye out for wild raptors soaring overhead.

Our adventure culminates at The Sinks, often called the “Grand Canyon of Orange County.” Here, we’ll enjoy a delicious box lunch surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. The highlight of the day? One lucky participant will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to release a rehabilitated raptor back into the wild—an awe-inspiring moment that everyone will get to witness.

This is a rare and extraordinary experience you won’t want to miss!
