Since it would be weird to post this on any other day… here are some photos to celebrate Zoe, our lanner falcon, turning one year old!  Our little naked chick is all grown up and hassling ravens.

Shared by West Coast Falconry on Facebook: “Here is a priceless photo! Neither birds are West Coast Falconry’s. A captive Harris Hawk at a museum up north was eating it’s rat on a perch outside when a wild female kestrel attempted to steal the rat. She left unharmed and empty taloned. Perfect photo timing = priceless image. :)”
