Falconry and falconeering with snow owls

My Diverse Photo Gallery

Here you will find images of the other animals, wildlife and flora that have little or nothing to do with falconry or birds of prey, that I come across while busy with the raptors and learn the ancient art of falconry. For example the turtle that 'misteriously' appeared in the pond at Falconcrest now aptly called 'Nessy', or the Saluki's that run like the wind, and of course 'moby dick', but the photographers haven't caught a glipse of her yet.
