  Free-Flight Birdshow: "EVOLUTION...From Dinosaurs to Raptors"
   

Life has been evolving for hundreds of millions of years since the formation of the Earth. From dinosaurs to recent species, the process of evolution has created the most skilled and specialised of predators: the BIRDS OF PREY.

Presented by our dynamic raptor-interpreters, learn all about these spectacular birds and be stunned as they brush right past you and fly right above your head ! A 12 minute gondola ride or a 90 minute hike will get you to the summit of Mount Tremblant for the show.

Come and see North America’s smallest raptor: Elvis the American Kestrel. Observe Hercules, a Bald Eagle, from up close. Be stunned by a Harris Hawk, Figaro, spreading his wings right beside you. Get a glimpse of a majestic nocturnal hunter, Mozart the Great-horned Owl. Discover a charming scavenger of the desert… the Black Vulture Einstein . Meet Sunshine, the friendliest Barn Owl ever!

New for 2008: Welcome Napoleon, our Eurasian Eagle Owl; this is the largest species of owl on the planet with a near 2m wingspan!

All this with the magnificent mountains of the Laurentians as the backdrop…
