For thousands of years man has been captivated by the effortless flight of birds of prey. From the aerial majesty of a Golden Eagle soaring on the thermals, to the breathtaking rush of a Peregrine Falcon plummeting from the sky, these birds have captured our hearts and imaginations. Now Grouse Mountain, in cooperation with the Canadian Raptor Conservancy, invites you to witness some of nature's finest athletes demonstrate what they do best - "free flight".

Witness the incredible hunting skills of the eagle, hawk and falcon. Prepare to be awed by the incredible flying skills of the Peregrine Falcon, the world's fastest living animal. Learn why the Red-tailed Hawk, North America's most common raptor, is such a successful species, or meet a Golden Eagle, one of BC's largest birds of prey.

Located atop Grouse Mountain, nestled amongst natural forest habitats of the spectacular BC Coast Mountain Range, the "Birds in Motion" amphitheatre affords you a chance to sit back and relax, while you enjoy these amazing birds against one of the world's most dazzling scenic backdrops.
