wow! There are some amazingly breathtaking pictures on here! I just LOVE them!!!

Can anyone help me figure out how to post a pictures on here. I've been trying to figure it out and I'm hopelessly lost. I click on the "Insert Image" box and it comes up with this thing that says "Please enter the URL of your image" I just want to put pictures from my computer on to here, but I guess that's not possible. So then I put the URL of one of my pictures on Facebook, and the only thing that popped up was a stupid little box that looks like a tiny window with a little green mountain outside. What am I doing wrong? Is there no way to put a picture straight from my computer onto the page??? Sorry for my ignorance, I just can't seem to figure it out What am I missing?

[RT Alison]

Right click on the photo in facebook and it will ask you to "copy image url", click it then come back to your post and ctrl V in the insert image box. That's where all mine come from.

Goodness! What kind of eagle is that?

Imperial Eagle I think?.

Imperial Eagle I think?.

I believe Phil is right that its an Imperial Eagle. You don't hear much about this species of eagle being flown, and I'm not sure why as it certainly looks well armed and nicely put together. I know that it is quite rare in Spain, but I'm not sure what the numbers are like in the rest of its range.
This pic might give an idea of how that previous one started. http://www.pbase.com/image/112417094

Cold morning Mallard.


Probably my three favorite moments in falconry.

These are great photos

A very random photo, taken simply because I'm excited at the prospect of the very nearly here new season (hence the preparatory polish).

Best wishes,

Tony.

Thanks Cindy. I'll be in Williamsport all of the month of October. My daughter lives in Harrisburg, so, we will be visiting.

[Tony James]

And very random indeed.

What a great few days for my son.

Hits 18 and passes his driving test on his birthday. Next weekend he leaves home to live in London, having gained a place at the Central Ballet School.

I took this picture a few minutes ago, before he heads off to another party.
Heck, he looks like he could be the next James Bond (mmmmmm, a ballet dancing James Bond? Hell, why not)!

Best wishes,

Tony.

[PeteJ]

Congratulations to him and I would say 'break a leg' except that it looks like he already might have....ouch, something had to pop there!

Cheers Pete.

I don't know about 'pop' --- if that was my leg, there'd have been a 'bang'!

Best wishes,

Tony.

PS That's the same little boy that's in my avatar. Oh how time flies!

Yes, congrats to your boy Tony- sounds like he is in for quite the adventure.

Can you elaborate on that anklet reward tag design? I have not seen that before and it looks like an elegant solution.

Thanks,
Tanner

Congrats Tony.

[BestBeagler]

Enjoyed the pictures Tony. And congratulations as well!

Getting ready to put mine on the hybrids. Fran Made a pretty slick product here. The gyr still moulting so he'll have to wait.
Very cool on you're son. Nothing makes you happier than when you see you're kids happy. Best of luck to him.

[Tony James]

Thanks all for the kind words. I showed my son when he arrived home, who was surprised that other falconers would have any interest, so an extra thank you.

This picture should help illustrate the anklets a little better Tanner. Essentially they're an engraved metal anklet that forms an integral part of it by encapsulating the leather part that comes into contact with the hawks leg.

They're available from Spanish falconer Fran Bolinches, and they are, as David points out, a very nice product.

Best wishes,

Tony.

[Tanner]

Thanks for the manufacturer name Tony. Cheers.

Thanks for the manufacturer name Tony. Cheers.

And you'd love him Tanner, almost as much as you'd love his spectacular red-naped shaheens.

Best wishes,

Tony.

Oh, very cool. I'm hoping to get out and get some nice falconry photos this season.

Evelyn in a playful mood this morning.

Evelyn in a playful mood this morning.

There's something very endearing about a falcon in that mood --- a far cry from the mood she was in when she embedded her talons in me the day we took her up!
You've done a cracking job with her Adam, that will stand her in good stead for the rest of her life.

Best wishes,

Tony.

[adam norrie]

Hi Tony,

Evelyn seems to always be in the mood. When I go to her in the morning I am greeted with head spinning. When she is on the block and I walk about the garden she just spins her head at me and the dogs.
Now she is over her illness she is beginning to regain her fitness and move forward.
Yesterday, she was in her playful mood when suddenly she left the block Goshawk fast and narrowly missed a blackbird. Midweek, a Blue Tit wasn't so lucky.

Thanks again for your help for that week I was away.

Hi Pete
I fortunate to see Imperial Eagles when visiting Spain 2002 when I competed in the Leon Sky trails.
We stopped off on the highway on way from Madrid to Leon to weather the falcons. Way up in the blue skys we witnessed two Imperials eagle thermalling.
As far as I hear Imperials Eagles populations in Spain have increased since I was last there

Last picture you can see my Peregrine Falcon (Jintz) watching the Eagles soaring high above

I absolutely love this photo and think it belongs on the front page of a well respected Falconry magazine or similar.

Kind regards, Derry.

Just a lousy quality cell phone picture, but for some reason, I really dig it.
Dog and hawk both look awkward, and odd.
