I duck,

and promptly mantles so I won’t steal it.
Saker Falcons have been falconry birds for 1000’s of years.
They are an endangered species, native across Central Europe to China.
This is Katie Pnewski, a brilliant and comitted bird trainer,
and bird lover, who works at Avian Behavior International,
a conservation and bird advocacy organization near The Holler in rural Southern California.
I spent an incredible day here today, and will be introducing you to more of their amazing birds and conservation efforts in my next posts. For more on this worthwhile organization see:

Cheers to you from the phenomenal Saker Falcon and his devoted human~

I followed the link in your latest blog, and reread this blog from 4 years ago!! I realized I had already liked it–and thought that I have been reading your blogs for at least 4 years–if not longer!! Wow!! That is incredible! I love how you end your blogs with, “Cheers from…(wherever or whatever you are photographing)” I love that!! Similiar to me always closing with, “May we be encouraged!” God bless you Cindy! I’m so glad to have gotten to know you through the blogging world.
Oh Katie. I admire you so much. Thank you. “May we” (both) “be encouraged.” Love to you დ
