Having trouble finding a bird of prey for the sport of falconry? Are you just all around into birds of prey? If so, this is the site for you :>!
Welcome!
Welcome to the falconry corner! This site is nothing but birds of prey. If your reading this, I'm sure you know a lot about birds of prey, but get this: the red tailed hawk is not really a hawk, it's a buzzard! Who knew? Enjoy the site!
Due to the fact that Mrs. Quinn has become a 4th grade teacher, mystery bird has closed. :(
bird of the year
this is a part of the website that encorages you to get outside and see if you can find this bird.
Cooper's Hawk
Dogs Help Out!
You know, dogs help falconers and their birds hunt for prey, but they don't get much credit. They flush out the rabbits that are in hard to reach places, and if the bird catches the prey, it gets lots of praise, and the dog sits there, getting attention from the falconer but not a crowd that might be watching. So what I'm trying to say is that you should give the dog credit, and praise the bird.
Northern Goshawk
These birds are very popular for the sport of falconry. The male is on the right, and the female is on the left.
Eagle Owl
This is the largest owl in the world!
osprey
These are very interesting birds. They can rotate one of their talons, they have little barbs on their feet to hold slippery fish, and they carry fish head first to their nest.Weird.
harris' hawk
These are very recognizable birds.Very colorful. Well, more colorful than others.
red tailed hawk
These birds have rust red tails, which make them very easy to spot.
