Raptors and Autumn seem to go together.....

This Saturday, I visited the Ohio Bird Sanctuary during the Fall Festival. I went last year too.
Rare is the opportunity to shoot images of raptor up really close and personal, in the woods, sitting on cool stumps and things, with their tethering showing as little as possible. A shoot designed JUST FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS, really!!! Well, it's not, but then...IT TURNS OUT TO BE! Tons of photographers usually swarm the place. Seems they have this event in the Spring too, but I've never been that time of year.
Anyhow..here is one of my favorite shots from this year's shooting, for me!!
