Thanks guys. I hope I havent angered too many of the avid birders posting the falconry pics. I learned that falconers are allowed to trap wild raptors... cant say I like that. Most of their falcons are peregrine/gyrfalcon hybrids from established breeding programs though.
The "Strike!" is a pretty awesome capture Randy! I can't see me tracking a falcon at 200 mph and catching the hit. Interesting set all around too.
BTW, I have no issues with falconry pics or falconry in general. They have rules, I'm good as long as they abide by them. Can't help feeling a little sad for the pigeons though...
Tried, and failed. As Oscar Wilde said, "I can resist everything but temptation."
