Beautiful and extraordinary raptors! Thanks for the treat. And this video is so gorgeous. Great camera work and editing, thrilling music that captures the feeling of the birds of prey. Amazing! Now I’ll watch it again.
This took me back a fair few years. When I was stationed near Andover there was a Hawk Conservancy near by that I used to visit fairly often. Stunning displays and a wide range of birds from all over. Best for me was a barn owl who made his entrance flying between the shoulders of the seated audience from behind twisting and weaving through with not a sound to be heard even when he went right past your ear only an inch or so away. don't know if they are still there or not. Nice to see Identity Leather there - I get most of my leather & tools for bookbinding from them. Really nice friendly bunch. Alfie did look exhausted there at the end but he is getting big - that must have been some weight to carry round all day 😊 Used to have a barn owl who would fly past our cottage (about 20ft away from the front door) every evening at dusk, sadly not seen it for about a year now. Thanks for taking us along on a lovely day out 🎉🦅
As someone fairly local to it I can confirm that Hawk Conservancy is still there and still brilliant! This video reminded me of it a lot as well. Glad to see there are more places like this around the country.
I just moved into a senior high rise apartment in SW Michigan. I'm on the 8th floor facing a wooded area. I see hawks every day flying past my window, sometimes just a few feet away. I love raptors of all kinds. They fascinate me. I love your channel and this is a great video. Thank you.
@@sq5 It is. Sometimes the wind is so high they seem to hover. Behind my place there's a pond where there's ducks and deer come to drink. There's also a walkway by the pond. The ducks and deer are so accustomed to people you can walk up to just about ten feet from them.
@@barbarahouk1983 Thank you, Barbara. I try to stay busy as much as I can. I was a music teacher for almost thirty years and now I volunteer with my local adult literacy council teaching people to read. I also participate in online seminars. It keeps the juices flowing.
"Keep Calm and Carrion" How can you not love falconry! Thanks for a look at a VERY interesting fair! I was particularly impressed at the many birds free flying all at once in the same field. Alfie looks like he really enjoyed the day - we know you did! ❣👍😊 Ps i just now noticed the little falcon next to the heart that shows up when you like a comment - clever!
well, i wasn't expecting to find this gem tonight when i booted my computer. i listened and glanced at the screen as i did my evening after dinner chores. as the birds began to soar i had settled in for the evening, those few moments had me wanting to watch again so i upped the quality and switched to full screen. that was almost a mistake....i watched the third time after i plugged the hdmi cable from the computer to the tv, which hadn't been used since i left arizona in march. Amy, thanks again for sharing so much of what you do with us. this has to be the best film you have given to us. as your youtube channel has grown so much and so fast; i have watched you grow as a teacher, film maker, wife and mother. i feel so blessed when ever you show me some incite into the natural world around all of us. ken
When you were showing some bird close ups there was one bird with bluish head feathers who had an unwavering stare. Make a great politician! Loved it thanks!
Wow! This was fabulous... the free flight demonstrations were gorgeous (though I did love that tiny little owl as well! 🥰) Thank you for sharing this with us!
I'm a pigeon lover. I have had pigeons since I was a child. and over the years I have lost quiet a few of my high flyers to these hunters of the sky. But I must say I still admire raptors very much. they are fascinating creatures. and thanks for making this video taking us along this wonderful trip I really enjoyed it :)
I truly had no idea! Thank you for sharing and being a part of such a great thing. Fable is such a beautiful bird. You’re very good at what you do. Say hello to Fable and the baby for me 😁
Brilliantly caught on camera. I went to highclere raptor fair, fantastic, unfortunately I couldn't make this one but you have caught a lovely taste of it in this video. Thank you.
@@wingsandwildlands That would be fantastic! Seeing these birds is wonderful -- and, to me, I mean that in a very literal sense: I fill with wonder. Then, learning about both their biology, and the history and practice of falconry, makes each of your videos superb, often breathtaking. There are no notifications that I respond to more quickly!
I fell in love with birds of prey after visiting the falcon hospital in Abu Dhabi. Such amazing an beautiful creatures. Can't wait until i move from the city so I can take up falconry.
Great video! Glad I came across this. I left ICBP before this was finished, Mima and Charlie were still hard at work ...and never got to see it. Oh boy do I miss the equipment makers because American equipment isn't anywhere close to the quality, availability, diversity in choice and practicality. I spontaneously started🤤just seeing the giant hoods. Thank you for sharing your day at NCBP and the Faire. 😊 Made me a bit homesick. 😔
Such a peaceful watch. Living on the west cost of Scotland, I'm fortunate enough to see a lot of raptors in the wilde and their nest sites. I love walking and listening to the chatter of the ravens as they circle overhead. Thank you for the vlogs you post.
I’d love to have seen a description for each bird flying as it wasn’t super obvious to me for most of them! Where I live in North East Kent (Whitstable/Faversham area) we have Kestrel’s, Buzzard’s, Marsh Harrier’s, Short eared Owls and not too far away (Dover) although I’ve never seen them, Peregrine Falcons. Red Kite are slowly moving towards Kent from the South West (Saw one last week in Surrey)
Thank you so much for sharing this absolutely extraordinary facility with us. It looks as though it's as comfortable for the visiting humans as it is for the birds that live there. Really enjoy seeing you and Alfie enjoying the time together...
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen, very jealous right now. Thank U so, so much for this sneak peak into ur life of Birds and Birds of Prey.
This must have been so much fun for you. I've been so worried regarding aviary flu; it's good to see you all getting together and enjoying yourselves and your lovely birds
Hello. Just wanted to say that the video is awesome. I wish I could have been there. Everything you've showed is simply amazing. The variety is simply great. I'm glad to see so many different and extraordinary raptors. Greetings from Spain!
Lovely. I visited the raptor centre many years ago when I was in the UK. It’s gotten BIG lol. Loved the teeny burrowing owls and the vultures. I’ve always admired vultures, they get such a bad rap but they’re actually rather majestic in person, and def impressive.Lovely video, so nice
Amy thank you for a beautiful video! The filming and music absolutely spot on! It’s a wonderful bird of prey centre isn’t it. I’m lucky enough to live a short distance from the centre and have visited many times. Thank you once again.x
Such amazingly beautiful creatures. I'm thinking of how they represent the top of the food chain in many biospheres and if their survival is under threat, well, that tells a lot of how bad the rest of their natural environments are doing. Hope Alfie will be on the forefront of preservation and falconry too one day. For now, he's just as cute as Fable.
What a remarkable Center, thank you SO much for taking us along to the fair!! I've been interested in birds of prey since I was a child but a film I watched long ago really got me interested. Kes by Ken Loach (I know, a hard watch LOL) really peaked my interest in learning more. Though the hobby be out of my reach, I can enjoy with you and Alfie and that's just lovely! Give that baby a biscuit from his friend in the USA!!
That is so cool, I wish I could have gone. (Beaverton, Oregon is a ways) I have to get my falconry license soon. I've recused some owls, but could never keep them to raise. I wish you had a Cooper's hawk. I film them all the time and I think they are the prettiest of the hawks.
@@SHENworks Have you ever been to Horning's Hideout in North Plains, Oregon? They have multiple pairs of eagles and ospreys fishing in the trout pond every day. I'm going back out tomorrow to film them. With the change to cooler weather the birds should be incredibly active.
@@jansoules7912 Howdy neighbor! It's amazing how many neighbors you meet watching an international video. I wish we had ravens in our area! I do have a white winged crow that comes to eat from me and follows me around. I just posted a crazy flat drop from a 100' by an osprey in slow motion to catch a trout.
Thanks for this extraordinary peek at your Falconry Fair! All those birds are just breathtaking and what a treat for us non faconers to see ( was that a harpy eagle??? or is that a made up name? ) I love birds. You can say I adore birds of all kinds. This is such a treat. Please give my love to all of your birds, especially Fable 🥰💖🤣. Little Alfie looks like the best little trooper and he is learning to have birds and dogs in his blood and in his bones. The best ever combination. Blessings and gratitude to you and yours, Amy.
Great video! I would love to see something like that. It's 1:30 am my time, and I just walked inside after listening to the Barred Owls having a shouting match. The two pairs of Red-Shouldered Hawks will be at it again with the Crows in a few hours. Life isn't dull if you look around.
Thanks for bringing us along with you on your excursion to the raptor fair. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t see my favorite bird, the Golden Eagle in flight 🥲
Thank you for sharing a video of your day. I imagine you were very excited to go. I live in Charleston, South Carolina in the U.S and I am fortunate to have a center for birds of prey nearby. Much like the one in the video, they have birds from all over the world. If there are those who would like to see these beautiful birds in flight, the center has flight demonstrations and days just for photographers. I will post a link. It is nice to know that Alfie will get to experience all your wonderful birds as he grows up. He will develop a love, not just for the birds, but all of nature. That is a wonderful upbringing that you can't put a price on. Has he said his first words yet, and if so, were they "Boop Boop?"
Beautiful and extraordinary raptors! Thanks for the treat. And this video is so gorgeous. Great camera work and editing, thrilling music that captures the feeling of the birds of prey. Amazing! Now I’ll watch it again.

I loved when the little burrowing owl came out of the box! He waited till he was ready and then charged out like he had somewhere important to be. :D
Hes so wonderful isn't he

How can you not love falconry!

Thank you for making your videos in such a way that we viewers are transported to a peaceful, educational oasis. So refreshing
An amazing video! I saw the Marshall Eagle in Kenya! What s sight to behold! Thank you for taking us along Amy and I hope Alfie recovered well! 🦅🦉
Thank you for taking us on this tour ❤️😊🤗
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰🤠

I love Summer in Britain, thank you for taking us to the fair, Amy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful, did I see a Harpy Eagle❓ Again, wonderful👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What a lovely video! Music and voice over so well done. Thanks Amy!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Ah yes the Black Chested Buzzard Eagle (sometimes known as a Chilean Blue)....stunning birds
The burrowing owl had such a look on their face. 😂
Wow! This was fabulous... the free flight demonstrations were gorgeous (though I did love that tiny little owl as well! 🥰) Thank you for sharing this with us!
The burrowing owl was wonderful, so much personality!
Wonderful! Thanks for posting (and Alfie looks very healthy and flourishing, too).
It's so nice to see motherhood without apology. This was a good day for your son (and you) it appears.

Thank you so much for taking us there that was awesome!
Thanks for sharing .The Birds are such highly tuned athletes and masters of the sky .
They really are. The staff at NCBP do a great job of just letting the birds enjoy doing what they do best!
She is so amazing! Her knowledge and her sense of adventure. Very admirable :-)
Looks like an excellent day out!
Alfie seemed to have enjoyed it.
I bet he's dreaming of soaring among the clouds too.
Wonderful! Thanks for your time and help by sharing the day with us!!! Really appreciate it so much 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I truly had no idea! Thank you for sharing and being a part of such a great thing. Fable is such a beautiful bird. You’re very good at what you do. Say hello to Fable and the baby for me 😁
Seeing all the birds of prey was awesome. They are so beautiful and majestic. Thank you for getting all this footage.
What a magnificent video, with the best music!
Thank up so much.
8:19 i did not expect that running speed
Very cute/funny
Burrowing owls are awesome 👌
We’ve missed you and Fable. Thanks for taking us along to Raptorfest.
Thanks for taking us to the fair! Beautiful birds, lovely musical accompaniment. Well done in every way.
Brilliantly caught on camera.
I went to highclere raptor fair, fantastic, unfortunately I couldn't make this one but you have caught a lovely taste of it in this video.
Thank you.
Ahh that was a bit far south for me to get to this year.
@@wingsandwildlands it was very nice, but I got a tick and now being treated for lymes lol
Have a lovely summer.
The speed at which they dive is astounding. Good to see you back on your channel.
Wow! I'm so happy to see you again so quickly!
Thanks! Hoping to get a content out a bit more regularly again :)

TY for the tour. I have never been to anything like this.
Oh I live in the Ohio Valley of the United States.
Good video. It was fun to see how fast they descend !
Love it! What a great place! Wish I was able to visit it! Thank you for taking us there with you!!!

Wonderful sights, who'd have known there were so many Falconers!
Awesome I’m going to a owl display in August and I’m hoping to volunteer at my local museum that has birds of prey this fall
Good luck Jake, I hope it works out for you :)
I've been there. It is beautiful 😍
Thank you, Amy! That was spectacular! I will have to do some research to see if there's anything like this in California.
Oh I was looking forward to this! Thanks for taking us along!!
I just love watching these amazing birds.
That is so cool, I wish I could have gone. (Beaverton, Oregon is a ways)

I love this channel. I live in North Yorkshire so will def check the centre out thanks!
You won't be disappointed 😌 the staff are lovely and there's so many birds to enjoy.
Incredible!! Thanks Amy and Alfie, such a beautiful video and as always super informative!
Fantastic video! Thank you.

I didnt know about this, will definitely look into a visit, Wonderful 🥰
You should! Well worth a visit!
Think it will be worth it for the little owls alone 😊
I saw a red kite today that was rather lovely
Thank you for sharing that! The little guy is so big already!
Amazing. Wish we had something like that around here.
I was surprised to see so many birds flying at one time. Is there not a danger of them fighting? Also, that Burrowing Owl was SO adorable!
I have worked on restoration projects for them in California. I love them❤
Many thanks for that wonderful 'Virtual Tour' of this show.
perfect, thank you
❤️ Thanks so much for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience with us!
I will never understand why RUclips suggested your channel. But I’m glad it did.
Thanks Amy - top work and thanks for coming!! xxx
Can't wait to return! Thanks for all your hard work 🦅
I’m sorry I’ve never seen one of the fairs in the US. Looks so incredibly awesome! Thanks for sharing this even with us. Super cool.🦅❤️
Good Luck to you Alway
Beautiful ❤
Thank you that was wonderful.
