First, thank you all for the views and favorites! I do so love sharing the joy of being close to these raptors with as many people as I can, and they are incredibly gorgeous creatures. Im blessed by the fact I get to work with them and enjoy their company greatly!
But your favs and watches and comments are fantastic, I do love getting them all, and thank you for such! ^v^ I mean it, too!

However, I must say a couple things here, now. Almost a disclaimer, of sorts. These are still raptors in my photos, and they are carnivores, they eat meat. Sometimes, they get blood on them from that very meat that they eat. So... I apologize if people get a bit squeamish seeing such, but there's not much I can do, and its entirely the way the world works. Predators eat prey. surprise!
I have had a picture or two taken down by the admins in the past, and so Im a bit wary of what I upload now. Keep in mind, though, that we never, ever seek to be cruel to any animals, we don't feed our birds anything alive, and we do our job in the most humane ways possible. So if you see some red on their beaks or talons, just remember, its like us eating a juicy steak and getting some drippings on our chins, or gravy on our shirts!
