Yes, they're very cool. As is having your own golden eagle!

Beautiful pictures!!!
Looks to me to be much more adventuresome and rewarding than playing on an X-Box, Play Station, Game Cube, Smart Phone, etc. as many American kids seem to gravitate to these days.
The neighbors would "shat their pants" if they saw a kid toting an eagle around the block looking for a few rodents! I used to walk through my neighborhood with my grandfather's Auto-5 12 on my shoulder heading up to the local canyon for a morning grouse hunt... nobody ever batted an eyelash. I don't think my son has ever even shot his BB or pellet gun in the back yard... the starlings and sparrows just laugh at us now.
Hope modernization is better to the Mongolian young people than it has been to American youth, Native Americans, etc. Kind of hard to find a "one size fits all" for everyone I guess.
Once again, beautiful pictures... Thanks!

Never thought I'd see an eagle cuddle up to a young girl like that. Wow.

When I was there they let me hold this eagle. It was a young bird they had trained to take fox and planned to start on wolves soon. The wolves there were not as big as our timber wolves. The one I shot was the size of a large coyote. You may be able to tell from the photo that I had been told not to have eye contact. ![[Linked Image]](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/BoiseRick/EagleampI_zpsf7ef5d71.jpg) This is Kyrgyzstan near the Chinese border at an old hot spring resort the Ruskies developed. No road, no one lives within miles and those people are nomadic herdsman.

Wouldn't USFW officials love to jail that girl.

I knew some falconers in the Ft. Worth area. They had a female red tail that was pretty sociable, and if you approached slowly, she enjoyed having her breast stroked. After a long day at a Renn faire, though, she got a little nippy
