A Kiss For Grace

My mother and her hawk, Grace.

My mother grew up in Germany where falconry is more common than here in the US. She later became one of the few women in NJ to have hawks and became a master falconer after many years, starting with an apprenticeship. She has had falcons, hawks, owls and everything in between over the years, training them and releasing some back into the wild. She also works with animal rehabilitation including birds of prey. She is one cool lady. :)

A Kiss For Grace belongs to the following groups:

Birds and Creatures of Flight, Birds Of Prey (3 per day), Family Unlimited, I Love Birds, ImageWriting (2/24), Live, Love, Dream: , Nature's Wonders, The Art of Intrigue 2/24, The Birds, Two Beings Group, United States and Woman Appreciation Available for sale as
