Birds Of Prey
Recently I visited a wild life reservoir which had many different birds of prey. It was the first time that I saw these birds at such a close range. Obviously, there is always a mixed feeling seeing birds locked up, but I could see that they were treated very well. In total there were at least 40-50 different birds which all stood on several wood stumps placed along a road. The big highlight was the bird show in which they showed off the biggest birds. Interestingly, they were let go freely and the birds always returned. I guess that means they are some what domesticated? I guess it helps receiving a small chick for every round of flight.
We were lucky to stand at the exact right spot where one of the trainers was standing and received the birds on the flight back to her. For that reason I managed to get some pretty good shots...
Don't we all just want to be this little piggy in the sun? :)

Majestic—what beautiful images!
It is nice that the eagles are free to fly around the sanctuary
The eagle looks very fierce and brave on the first picture
Seeing birds of prey up close always creates mixed feelings.
On one hand, captivity makes the power of the bird feel constrained. On the other hand, a well-run reserve can let people observe details they would never see in the wild: the eyes, talons, posture, and the quiet patience before movement.
That tension is probably why these visits stay memorable. They are beautiful, but not completely simple.
That eagle is stunning, would so much love to see one of those birds in real life, the shear size! :)
