I had a similar opportunity about 18 years ago while staying at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, while it was under its previous management. The program has since been discontinued as it was not a "money maker" compared to the casino they have since installed. My experience was a full afternoon with the trainer and one falcon, one red tailed hawk, one bald eagle and one golden eagle--they had one owl as well but never got it out of its cage probably because it was a hot midday. Got to work the falcon and hawk on the course, while we only got to take pictures holding the eagles, which otherwise remained on their perches. I do have pictures but they are all hard copy (before I got digital by about 6 years) and tucked away somewhere in storage. It is cool how they manage them by wieght of the bird to know when they are "ready" to hunt and when NOT to let them off their restraints.
