Great pics. Thanks for sharing. I always had an interest in falconry but ended up with hounds instead. No way I could ever do both and stay married

Still my favourite part of the campfire. I'm glad you're back and doing it again.

Great pics as usual.
This spring we had a GHO nesting in the park. It was fun to watch it grow and be off.

My folks said the royalty in Europe did falcons. Falconry was in the fables and myths of my childhood.

My folks said the royalty in Europe did falcons. Falconry was in the fables and myths of my childhood. you might have some interest in this blog post I wrote a few years ago about the origins and history of falconry: https://www.klarphotography.com/blog/2016/8/falconry-friday-how-did-we-get-from-there-to-herethere was a strict list of who could fly what birds in medieval times: Emperor: Eagle, Merlin King: Gyr Falcon (male & female) Prince: Peregrine Falcon Duke: Rock Falcon (subspecies of Peregrine) Earl: Tiercel Peregrine (male) Baron: Bastarde Hawk or common buzzard (a red-tail sized hawk) Knight: Saker falcon Squire: Lanner falcon Lady: Female Merlin Yeoman: Goshawk or Hobby (a Merlin-sized falcon) Priest: Female Sparrowhawk (a small Accipiter) Holy water Clerk: Male Sparrowhawk (a small Accipiter) Knaves: Kestrel Servants: Kestrel Children: Kestrel also of note: the Roman emperor King Frederick II wrote a book on falconry in 1450 a.d that's been continually in print ever since. It's still to this day 98% accurate and is considered the origin of the modern scientific method. I have several translations of it and that dude was smart

Always happy to see Falconry Friday, and much enjoy its recent return.
I see Cedric's plumage, and wonder how a GHO soft hackled fly would fish. Not in the US, of course, but in some civilized country that is able to distinguish between feathers taken from an illegal source vs those molted naturally...
