@Ron--I prefer them flying free, too; as, I'm sure, does their handler. Unfortunately, these are all "rescue birds." They've been injured and are unable to be returned to the wild.
Raptors are such majestic creations. Am glad when the rescued birds can be ambassadors for those in the wild so that those who otherwise won't see them, can examine them up close. We had a wild pair that nested in our shelterbelt. It was amazing to witness the young fledge.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
I much prefer them flying free! - Living.
