Birds of Prey in flight! PHOTOS!

[Die Fledermaus]

This is from the Native American Pow Wow this past weekend.

Link Here: RAPTORS!

I have one photo where a Gyrfalcon is STRIKING the lure at 100 mph with talons reaching out! That is one perching, below.



Harris hawk.



Zoom in on this one to see the Gyrfalcon striking the lure with talons at 100 mph. I was good, and lucky, to get this!

I have held raptor talons (with no bird attached) in my hands and had a kestrel "foot" me (land on my head and then fly away). I have a healthy respect for them!

It landed on your head?! Jeez. Those are some neat pics of the birds.
