I had the great experience and distinct pleasure to work with a Master Falconer and host a class for my photography students over the weekend. The topic, of course, was raptors and Lorrie brought along 3 magnificent birds of prey for us to practice photographing. They were:
Ravi, a Saker Falcon from the Middle East
Machu, a Harris' Hawk from the Southwest US
Big Mama, a European Eagle Owl from Europe
Lorrie spent some time talking with my students about each bird and their habits and answering questions. Then, she set about flying both Big Mama and Machu. Finally, my students got the special treat of having their portraits taken with Ravi.
Here are a few of my shots. Enjoy!

What a great day for everyone!
