Way cool to look at, Ike! Do you remember when a little paragrine (sp?) falcon got stuck in the downstairs fireplace pipe? We had to fish him out and clean all the soot off him! Wish we had a picture of THAT!
"The reward that comes from practicing falconry is, and has to be, a feeling of your own personal satisfaction; that, and that alone. Chances are no one else will be around when your hawk is at her best. Falconry is a tedious, time consuming effort with long periods of stress and anxiety punctuated by heartbeats of gut-wrenching visceral satisfaction so intense that is impossible to put into words."
