I participated in my second Photography Day at the Center for Birds of Prey on Sunday where we had the opportunity to photograph sixteen raptors.

Most of the birds were limited to perches and handler-held closeups, but a few performed flying demos. The area is host to a large hawk population and the Center has limited some of their birds’ free flying.

This was one of seven Owls–all of them exceptionally beautiful.
