Birds of Prey

We took another trip up to the castle this weekend, this time with a team of university students from Georgia. We walked for the first time all the way through the Royal Gardens and there just so happened to be an exhibit with birds of prey. The were just sitting there, out in the open on their perches, tethered to the ground. It was pretty amazing to see such huge, noble-looking creatures. You just never know what you're going to see in Prague!


Another view of St. Vitus Cathedral at the castle.



Matt and Steve posing like the statue. Pretty hilarious.



Giant talons on the golden eagle. This one was just a baby!



One of the students from Georgia got to hold the "baby" eagle.



This look kind of scared me.



Posing...



I can't remember the name of this bird. He was much smaller so I wasn't as concerned with him eating me.
