Medieval "Royal" Falcon: the Gyrfalcon

A gyrfalcon's owner showing his bird at Bald Eagle Day at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival today. This bird is about two years old and still learning to hunt. Her owner says she likes to chase ducks.

This looks like so much fun. We used to go to Ren Festivals around here. Guess we need to take it up again - I even have a "wench" costume =)
