Candy's Trip: Hawk Encounter, Part 7 Final Installment

 

 

 

 

Judy was a wonderful host and kept
Candy's itinerary full for almost 3
weeks. Just one of the amazing
activities was visiting an owl and hawk
farm.

Here, the owner had me put on a
big heavy glove, hold my arm out, and a
hawk flew to my arm. Quite a thrill.
This is a red-tail hawk, native to the
U.S., and one I see at home often.  The
owner has both native and imported
species of owls, hawks, and other
raptors from many countries.

 I'm SO
glad I took my warmest Angora hat and
scarf and Angora gloves. As you can
see, I'm all bundled up, layers of
clothing, and still probably cold.
