I will be adding the entire set of pictures to my site at www.artattack2go.com, if you ever want to see pictures of our family working with birds of prey. The entire family spent a day training and then a couple of hours with hands on work, with WILD birds of all prey. None of my pictures in my album are behind cages, or fences. These are the real things, and if you ever get the chance to do something like this, you will never forget it.

what an awsome capture this is beauty at its best and you have had the honor of capturing it all natural. I would love to see and yes capture these all natural. I had the change once and hope to get it sometime soon again. I don't thank I would ever get the change to capture one so very close. Did you have a zoom or were you that close. This is just a fantastic capture no matter how close you were look forward to seeing more

Wow, Melody, this is a superb picture. Awesome!!! Looks like he'd bite you if you move!!! Captivating!!!!!!!!!!

Artist Reply: He would bite me no matter what if I pushed my camera any closer to his face. The only zoom I use is on my camera, but he was close enough to get me.

Melody--wow! What an experience for you! This shot is so impressive with it's feather splayed like that--what a look! -Kerra

Artist Reply: Working with these birds was even better, it's amazing the grace and gentleness of these birds when you are working with them. However they all had beakons on in case they didn't like us they would leave, so the trainers would have to locate them by their signals.
