Raptor Fest at Rancho San Vicente 参观
引言
今天本来计划是去 Rancho San Vicente Open Space Preserve 徒步的，但是偶然间碰到了今天刚好在这里搞的 Raptor Fest at Rancho San Vicente。这次节日活动请来了 Master Falconer Kenny Elvin of Full Circle Falconry，展示了各种猛禽，包括猫头鹰、猎鹰、秃鹰等等。
这次活动参加的人数众多，一天有两场展示，一场在上午，一场在下午，每场 75 分钟。展示的过程中甚至有鹰的放飞表演，非常精彩。这次活动展示的猛禽有一部分是救助的，也有一部分是合法购买饲育的。这个活动主旨在于教育大家关于猛禽的知识，以及保护猛禽的重要性，非常有意思。
比如说，Kenny Elvin 介绍了他放飞 Peregrine Falcon 之后跟踪找了很久的故事，还有 Peregrine Falcon 能飞到几万米人肉眼都无法看到的高空，但是它却能看到 Kenny Elvin 从他的包里掏食物的动作。
行程准备
Rancho San Vicente Open Space Preserve 的停车场虽然挺大的，但是似乎来徒步和骑车的人也很多，所以得早去，不然可能没停车位。Raptor Fest at Rancho San Vicente 估计也是考虑到了这点，所以提供了免费的穿梭巴士服务，从 Challenger School of Almaden Parking Lot 出发，但是需要提前注册，数量有限。活动当天也接受现场注册，只需要提供 Email 即可，而且活动是完全免费的。
参加现场活动的人，如果想坐着，就需要自己带椅子。如果想要坐在前面，需要自己带露营野餐的毯子。如果站着的话，就只能站在后面或者两边。
我参加的那场在上午 11:15 结束，结束以后也不徒步就直接回家了，所以下次可以直接带专业相机去拍照。不过 iPhone 16 Pro 的拍照效果也是不错的。
