The Birds of the Draper Museum Raptor Experience

The Draper Museum Raptor Experience is one of our crowd-pleasing programs. Visitors as well as staff quickly develop great affection for our birds, all of which have past injuries or issues that make them unable to survive in the wild. They have permanent homes here with the Center of the West and help us educate our guests about some of the amazing predators of this area.
