Emily, we also got to watch them hunt over the lagoon which was really cool to see. Unfortunately it was too dark for photos!
They must be fascinating to work with.

How cool! I work with these little guys at the Birds of Prey Foundation where I volunteer! I've only ever seen one in the wild and he was on the ground! Fun to see pictures of them in their wintering grounds!
