They are most impressive in flight.

Looks Awesome!! Love the Raptors!clovishound wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 9:03 pmNo, it's the Birds of Prey Center in Awendaw, SC. It's about a half an hour north of Charleston SC.
They do raptor rescue work, and public outreach. They have scaled back on the demonstrations, since COVID, but still do one demo 3 or 4 days a week. They provide medical/rehab for many hundreds of birds each year, as well as many outreach programs to inform the public.

Don't encourage me to post more pictures!
This little guy always gets a couple of "How cute!" comments from the crowd when they bring him out.

This is a test.
Trying a higher resolution upload to see if it works and how much better it looks on the forum.

Looks good. Good detail even if you open it in a new tab and enlarge it.

I saved it as a 2000 long side pixel JPG. I have been using 1000 pixel. Most forums have a maximum file size for picture uploads. I've noticed a lot of my uploaded pictures just don't look sharp, even though the full sized versions are extremely sharp.

Re: Finally! Pup and I made it out to Birds of Prey
You could write a ZZ Top song with that quote.
Thanks to all for the kind words. I'm thinking seriously about attending one of the photography days they have at the center. It's probably worth what they charge since you get a half day with them bringing out all the birds that demonstrate. They also give extended demonstrations with the focus on the folks being able to photograph them. The Pup and I went a while back, unfortunately, I was using the old Canon we have, and couldn't find the telephoto lens for it. I came back with virtually nothing, but the Pup came home with some great stuff. Of course, I was going mainly for her.
