There are many more Kazakh Eagle Hunters in NW Mongolia than in Kazakhstan. I was very fortunate to spend a week in Sagsai, Mongolia in the fall of 2014. I met many magnificent Kazakh people including those that hunt with eagles. I also spent a day hunting fox on horseback with two hunters and their eagles. This is a dreamy interpretation of one of my photographs. Enjoy!

One of the most spectacular vistas in North America. Monument Valley from Muley Point.

There are lots of blue herons in the NW USA where I live. However, they are very skittish. This bird was on top of a pole and I on top of a bluff at almot eye level. It tolerated me being very close for some time. Great interaction with a wild creature.
