That was fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing. Those birds are simply awesome and I liked hearing that it is possible for a human to have a close relationship with one. The one still shot of the falcon looking straight at the camera mid cry is simply amazing! Gave me peoplebumps! *sigh*
As a lonely kid, I also devoured books about characters with relationships to falcons or other animals, although I never imagined that falconry still existed, or that I could somehow see it or do it. I’d love to read his memoirs.
