BCFA meet

From BCFA 2009


From BCFA 2009


Took Fowler and Meg out the BC falconry association (BCFA) meet on the 5th. Saw a few falcons fly, one caught a duck, we even managed to lure in a wild peregrine with some pigeons. It treated us to a fantastic stoop from a couple hundred feet up which turned a pigeon into a cloud of feathers. Very cool. I didn't get Fowler out much, he had a swollen wing and there wasn't any rabbits for him, but he did fly around a bit with a friends big female Harris hawk.

It just so happens that the two better quality shots from the meet are of him. These are straight out of the camera - got to love evening winter light.
