		<description><![CDATA[Gathering of Eagles
2009
With the meet three weeks away I started my preconditioning to get both Jackhammer and Mini-Me in shape. There are lots of theories on how to condition raptors but, in my opinion, nothing gets eagles in shape better then chasing something down. They simply fly harder and get more excited and amped up [...]]]></description>

If you have never heard of the Festival of Falconry it may be because this was only the second one ever held, the first one in 2007. Plus the Festivals were held in the UK so, living over here in the US, one could easily not have heard about them. Basically, the [...]]]></description>

Passage female golden eagle
Today starts the process of getting Penny ready for release; she is overdue for sure. Penny came to us by way of the Blue Mountain Wildlife Rehab in Pendleton, Oregon, hence the name Penny, and had come to them after being hit by a truck. Penny had a slightly damaged wing near [...]]]></description>

I have skipped a couple of days due to high winds but today was gorgeous and I prepared Penny for another training session. I called her about 50 yards to the lure, 5 or 6 times, and she did super. Tomorrow I will fly her free. This is a huge step [...]]]></description>

In the early stages of training I believe that the training sessions should be kept short and sweet. I want to give the eagle time to realize what I want from her so today, much like yesterday, I weighed her and walked out of the mews weathering yard and jumped Penny [...]]]></description>
