Eagles on hares: the video

[RLBagley]

For those who may be interested, we just added a great little video to the European Section of the website with footage from the Austrian Field Meet held in October near the ancient ruins of Falkenstien Castle.

Stephen Lea and I were there on hand to film this, each with his own Canon 7D in hand, a most deluxe and capable camera that also shoots HD through those nice lenses.

You can see it here.

Many of these eagles are imprints, yet they are puppy dogs to handle and work with.

Enjoy.

Okay, I will be the first..............Man, I wish I had several beaters on foot slips into open fields like that. Wait, on second thought, I don't. I only watched a few minutes. Had to turn it off. Not what I call hunting or sport. Okay, go ahead and slam me now.

Well, see if you can keep watching a little bit longer and then you'll see more escapes, great timing maneuvers by the hares (and a great flip) all happening later in the video.

Maybe we should have done it the other way around?

okay, I will give it a shot. But only because you asked me to.

watched it all. Not my cup of tea. I don't think I would fit in with the German hawking crowd. Good filming though.
