Enjoying a beautiful moment on a cool yet sunny spring day with my husband, two dogs and Gracie. I took a bunch of photos and here are the best of the bunch.
Pretty Girl
Gracie has such an intense stare with those golden eyes.
Beautiful Profile
I thought this shot had interesting angles and colors.
More intensity from a few steps back!
I'm continually in awe of her - just stunning!
This was a defensive stance to make herself look larger as our Golden Retriever approached.
A stately pose!
The sky is so blue here. I love the shadow under her wings and sun on her breast feathers
There's a turkey vulture (top right) that kept circling above us
Again - pooch coming a little too close!
Do you ever feel like you're being watched?
Yikes! It's more than a feeling!
Ok, think exit strategy...that tree looks good up there.
The film on her eyes is the nictitating membrane which protects their eyes when hunting, flying at fast speeds or feeding their chicks, keeping their most precious asset clean.
Can you feel any mice or squirrels in there? Falconers regularly check the keel feeling the musculature and level of fat on the bird.
I am always amazed at your pictures. Your animals are majestic…all of them! These are beautiful pics and I loved the commentary…funny!!
Thank you! It's hard to take a bad photo of her!!
thats pretty awesome, I love all of the pictures! they are so great.
found you through SITS today!
Thanks for visiting! I'm going to hop on over and check out your blog!
Awesome. Gives a little history …a day in the life…She certainly holds one’s attention!…..Edith
yeah – I'm hoping to document her progress through her molt (as she loses her feathers and gets new ones). Should be interesting!!
These are incredible pictures – and such an amazing bird! I can't wait to read your blog; it looks incredibly interesting and different to what I'm used to.
Thanks for visiting my blog today!
