hangin’ with the hawks

Today I accompanied my wife on a venture out to the nearby Fugate Woods Nature Preserve for a falconry demonstration. The birds on display were actually hawks, not falcons, but it still ended up being quite a treat. The falconer and his apprentice providing a lot of background information, and even though the hunting demo did not produce any prey for the birds, the opportunity to learn more about falconry and get some pictures up close made the trip worthwhile.
