Waiting for them to finish their snack
These two just caught a rabbit and are eating a snack for a job well done.
First hunt and free flight of the year, got our first rabbit of the season!
I've had a slow start this year but I could not have expected a better first hunt! They did really well which I'm very happy for because there are some meet ups soon and I was afraid they would be out of sorts for them. Confidence boost for sure.

Curious Iowa: What happened to downtown Cedar Rapids’ peregrine falcons?
Good article that gives a nod to how falconers were integral in the Peregrine Falcons recovery. Falconers were a big contributor to the captive bred population and many released birds with no compensation.

Last month of my season. (Warning, bunny screams)
How my falconry went last December (Warning: bunny screams)
Disclaimer: video shows hawks catching rabbits and rabbits scream when that happens. A lot of people find this very off putting.
Flying a cast of 2 male 1 female harris hawks. Added the juvenile male this season and he is coming into his own but the older male doesn't like him :(
Mercurys first bun!
Beautiful flight off the fist, easy transfer off. This bird is turning out great!

Wife slightly impulse bought a harris hawk and we're spending this weekend getting the other birds used to him so we can all fly together.
