Some of our resident “Raptor Wranglers,” both staff and volunteers, are also bloggers, and they have a lot of knowledge about birds—and the joy and peril of presenting public programs with live birds—to share!The Draper Museum Raptor Experience is funded in part by the Nancy-Carroll Draper Foundation, the William H. Donner Foundation, and the Donner Canadian Foundation—the latter in partnership with the University of Wyoming’s Biodiversity Institute.
