Mark: If you ever get to Germany, look up a place called Fensterwald (maybe called Fensterberg or Fensterburg). There is an ornothologist there who has trained hawks and falcons to snatch food swung in the air above the viewing audience (usually about 150 or so people. This guy also had a captive bald eagle, tethered and on a perch.

I took photos of that eagle using a Canon A-1 with a Vivitar 70-200 f4 lens in the 1989-91 timeframe, using Ektachrome 100, I think. Made a couple visits and then sold the photos, at the local thrift shop on base, blown up to poster size, to folks in Heidelberg, where I was stationed at the time. Your photos are far superior to mine; the best I have seen in my 71 years, so far. The narration on the video and editing were equally impressive. Well done indeed.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Fensterwald sounds like a very interesting place!
