What a gorgeous bird! They really are so majestic and incredible athletic, just imagine being able to dive at those breakneck speeds and still be able to snatch your prey from the air or ground without colliding at great enough speed to kill oneself. You caught some great images there, even the bird preening those feathers.

Sounds like it's been a busy hunter lately, two birds in two days. You just need to convince it to start eating your rats now! But it may like the taste of bird better by the way it seems to exclusively hunt them when it has a choice.

I had a cousin who used to keep falcons at one point, but don't recall what type of bird he kept. It's been way too many years. I guess the sport never much interested me for some reason, but it was fun to see his bird in action!

Keep up the good work snapping pictures of those beautiful animals!
