This year the weather was blustery, perfect flying weather for the larger
falcons such as Peregrine, Saker (a eurasion species) and a captive-bred
hybrid gyr/peregrine/prarie falcon owned by a club member. During the
better wind gusts each of these large falcons would test the wind with their
wings, occasionally rising in the air a foot or so above the perch the bird
is tethered to:

Another magnificent shot, Doug!
Nice to see you using the R8 for a change, too!
