At the Altai Eagle Festival this month in Mongolia.  With all the hunters and events I shot hundreds of exposures.

They raise their eagles from chicks, train them and use them to capture small prey.  The golden eagle eats the prey, and the eagle hunter harvests the pelts.  Eagles live about 30 years, but are released when they are between 5 and 8 years old.  Once released they never come back.

Thank you.  We've made travel a priority for the last three decades, and Barbara's exquisite research and planning always pay off well.

Thanks. You need to identify it so people know what camera they need to buy to get photos like that. 😉
