I'm sure most of you got a chance to meet Conrad. Here are some of his images from the meet. For all you photography buff, this is an excellent website to browse through.

Why would he photo shop the anklets/jesses out? Great photos, I suppose they would sell better to the masses without a falconry connection, but takes a bit away from the whole thing for me.

Conrad's a good friend of mine, I'm glad he made it out there. Great photographer, great guy. I told him to just call it a Gyrfalcon. But I'm assuming the falconer who owns the bird told Conrad that it's specifically a Norwegian Gyrfalcon, though that's hard to prove. I'll let him know, just call it a Gyrfalcon. lol And I gave him a good ribbing for the photoshopping out the jesses and anklets. It does appeal to a greater clientele to not have signs that the bird is captive.

Just talked to Conrad. He is not opposed to posting pictures of the birds with the anklets and jesses as well as the same pictures with the jesses removed. Conrad is a photographer, not a falconer. He is on FredMiranda.com and the pictures they post of the birds are without the equipment on them.

Hawked many days with Conrad and can say that he toughed it out in some extreme cold on top of bringing out some expensive gear in the field. Great guy....

He shoots a Canon 1dx with a 600mm f5.6l lens, sometimes he uses a 300mm f2.8l for the falconry shots. pricey equipment.

Most of the shots he took were with the 300mm lens. He trudged through the snow almost every day with us.

Yeah I imagine the 300 would be more manageable in the field. They are amazing shots that's for sure. The snow and sky make for amazing composition.
