Time with Bunco the Lanner Falcon

It was a quiet, meditative weekend of animal encounters along the San Diego beachside cliffs. Bunco the lanner falcon tied it off nicely by spending lots of quality time interacting with a lone student in a private falconry experience. The lack of crowds at the city park encouraged visits by some of our more shy wild raptor species, including a sharp-shinned hawk who flew within three of me at the cliff’s edge, sneaking along in search of tweety birds for lunch.
