Falconers in the Meadowlands

  Falconer Erik Swanson of Lodi and two colleagues brought their raptors to the Meadowlands Environment Center earlier this week for a talk and flight demonstration for Melissa Manzella and her  AP Biology Class of Lyndhurst High School.
  Some of the raptors on display were like no other you have ever seen -- including a Gyrlin. The name pretty much tells the story: It's a Gyrfalcon the size of a Merlin.

   Click here for photos of the Gyrlin and other raptors.

Hi would you mind stating which blog plaform you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Raptors are the coolest birds. Meat ratters are my friends. Dogs are man's best friends? I think not. Birds are! All joking aside most of my friends who have had pet birds have had their birds sadly fly away. Amazing video. The guy that speaks about birds really shows a lot of confidence when it comes to controlling them.
