Hawkeye in Black and White
This picture was not staged or posed in any way, other than to tell my dad to stop training and hold still so I could snap the photo.
I did tell him to stop smiling so his facial expression would compliment hers.

entry description
“Hawkeye in Black and White” is a photograph of my dad and his female Finnish x North American hybrid Goshawk. My dad is a Master Falconer in California and trains various raptor species from time to time. The Goshawk’s name is “Cybele”, after the Greek goddess of wild animals and especially raptors. As you can see by their eyes, Cybele and my dad seem to have a special spiritual connection. She is polite and courteous with him but as wild as the wind with everyone else.This picture was not staged or posed in any way, other than to tell my dad to stop training and hold still so I could snap the photo.
