Christie, that is great. Do you still work with them? I know what you mean about taking off with you. These birds are very powerfull.

It is amazing how agile they are once in flight. here is a picture of a red tail i flew this year. this was her first free flight ...





Birds of prey are amazing animals, thye have adapted to survive millions of years. They truley touch my life everyday. I really am fortunate to be able to do what I do
