Usually they get 40 to 50 people in on a Sunday but with the help of a large sign outside and a notice in the paper advertising the event we mananged to draw 450 people last week and in my estimation well over 600 yesterday. The hawks and falcons behaved impecably and neither them or the kids bit anyone.

The sun shone on both events and you would not have seen such an array of cameras and lenses at a Paris fashion show.  My female harris hawk stole the show as usual, flying over the crowd and catching her pretend bunny pulled by a child that tried to outrun a hunting hawk!

Everyone enjoyed handling the hawks and having their pictures taken, so I think all went away happy after their day with the birds of prey. All in all a very good atmosphere and a couple of very enjoyable days.
