Eagle-bald0023bbAt the Medieval festival in theMedieval village of Entrevaux, this weekend we watched a wonderful Falconery and Horse show put on by Hippogriffe (www.hipppogriffe.net). Seeing birds of prey in action is a great experience. And being able to see the rapaces close-up, without intervening screens and wire enclosures is a rare experience.

This little group of photos is to share our experience with you, beginning with the American Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), above.
