Missouri Falcon Club

Terry and I had a chance to tag along with the Falconers today. Wow. It is such a treat to be this close to these beautiful birds. We were so taken, we signed ourselves up! We just want to be able to tag along for future hunts and photograph the action.

Thanks guys! We had a terrific time. If you are interested in prints - send me an email by signing the guestbook.

If you have never used a site like this before - select the first picture and hit Large - then Start Slideshow. Sit back and enjoy the pictures. Let me know what you think.
