Falconry

[Gage]

I wasn't sure where these were best suited for, but People seemed appropriate for half of it.

The person with the unintentionally-yet-strategically-anonymous face in both shots is my mentor, Master Falconer Henry Thomas with a female Red-Tailed Hawk.

Great detail shots Gage. Are you into Falconry yourself?

I like the first one best. It looks as if the poor chap is about to get attacked

I was! There's something of a financial requirement involved that I simply can't put forth at present, but I hope to be able to pursue it again when I can. The interest certainly hasn't waned even if the situation has changed.

I volunteered for a time at Sardis Raptor Center, an education and rehabilitation center where I met my first love, a Harris' Hawk named Heyoke who is pictured on the right:



The raptor on the right is another Red-Tailed Hawk.

Wonderful shots of some of the giants of our skies.  They are very impressive birds, even the smaller falcons and owls.

Great set of shots GAge - the detail in the birds is excellent!

Wow, very awesome shot! I love the timing in catching the osprey in such a symmetrical shape.

I did put a couple of birds of prey ones in the Preserve our Planet gallery, Gage.  An osprey and a Brahimy kite, I think.

Great shots, think I prefer the first one best.
