Galt Winter Bird Festival

A Falconer brought his birds, an Eurasian Eagle Owl and a Cooper's Hawk to a local festival.  Before and after he spoke about the birds and his occupation, he tethered the birds outside so everyone could get a close up view of these beautiful Raptors. 

The Cooper's Hawk was trapped recently and is currently in training.  It will be released by the Falconer later this year.  

This Eurasian Eagle Owl is an ambassador owl and allowed visitors to the festival to pet it.
