=== Raptor free-flight ===
This birds-of-prey demonstration is held in the open desert and spectators watch from the flight path. The birds fly so close visitors often feel the brush of feathers. Weather permitting, the museum hosts two demonstrations daily from mid-October through mid-April. The birds fly completely untethered, without any jesses (leg straps) and most often without leg rings. Only birds native to the Sonoran Desert Region are flown. A featured species is [[Harris's Hawk|Harris's hawks]], the only raptor species in the world to hunt as a family using strategy, like wolves. The morning and afternoon demonstrations showcase different species, so each is unique. Species include: Harris's hawk, [[peregrine falcons]], [[American barn owl|barn owls]], [[red-tailed hawks]], [[ferruginous hawk]], [[great horned owl]], [[grey hawk|gray hawk]], [[prairie falcon]], and [[chihuahuan raven]].<ref name="azcentral_flight_aqua"/><ref name="zoo_raptor_flight">{{Cite web
