    Working Birds

    I feel like a complete phony calling these "Wildlife" shots. I was at a resort in southern California and found that the hotel "employed" 6 birds to fight their seagull problem. The birds were being trained by the handler and I just happend to be walking by with my camera. This is what I got. I LOVE the owl BTW.

    Re: Working Birds

    1 and 2 are european eagle owls
    3 and 5 APPEAR to be a Sakar falcon, but might be a prairie falcons. size would help with ID.
    4 COULD be a harris hawk http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...14026074LibTFn
