Thanks Jack. Yes, I shot it. This was taken after two hours of photographing Ireland as the raptor specialist worked to trim and polish Ireland's beak and talons. They actually have to use a Dremel (a small power tool) to do the trim work. The angle and shape of the beak and talons has to be maintained properly for Ireland to be able to grip a perch or eat correctly. And Ireland fumed at us the entire time.
