Falconry

frank@hildebrandphotography.com (HILDEBRAND photography) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:43:52 GMT

Falconry or hawking is an art or sport which involves the use of trained raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game for humans. There are two traditional terms used to describe a person involved in falconry: a falconer flies a falcon; an austringer flies a hawk (accipiter). In modern falconry, buzzards are now commonly used, and the words "hawking" and "hawker" have become used so much to mean petty travelling traders, that "falconer" and "falconry" now apply to all use of trained birds of prey to catch game.

"Chi-Town" Cooper's Hawks

This gallery of images is of a pair of breeding Cooper’s Hawks that have taken up residence in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. I was amazed on how the hawks adapted to the sounds and human activity of the city. All of these images were taken at the nest site in a busy residential area and the nest itself is right over the street. The breeding pair was busy with their courtship. Ah, love in the city.

I fabricated a rig to support my camera with a wide angel lens above the hawk nest and programmed the camera to shoot an image every minute.

Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.
