Beautiful, Powerful Birds of Prey!
2012.01.28
Besides bald eagles, there were vultures, owls, falcons, and many others I can't recall!
|
Isn't he handsome?

The handlers would hold the birds and tell us about them, then they were supposed to fly back to the top of the arena, but....
|
...they didn't always make it all the way to the top! I would have had a seizure if this had landed on me - and he stayed there for a couple of minutes before they could get him loose!
|
Even after they pried him off, he still had his eye on that woman!

Silver Dollar City is an amusement park near us and this year they introduced their new "Birds of Prey in Flight" center. We took our two youngest granddaughters there and they were fascinated. The light wasn't really in the right direction for me, plus they were really far away, but I was happy with the results.

Wow, those are some fine-looking birds!! You really caught that "eagle eye" beautifully in #1....wouldn't want him looking at me!! Poor woman...maybe he likes the color green?

Great flock, Brenda. You can see why the eagle is our national bird from your awesome photo in #1. The owl in #3, does give you the impresssion that he is a wise one.

I'd say you got very nice results and I'm so glad the eagle didn't land on you! 6 really shows the size of these beautiful birds.

Gorgeous birds, especially the second one!! I saw a demonstration like this once and can't IMAGINE having that eagle land on a person!!! Those handlers are wearing heavy gloves, I'm surprised the woman wasn't hurt.

I was watching eagles today, but they were much farther away than this! Your shots are great! So much fun to see them up close and personal!
