Wife and I attended the Outdoor Fall Flight at the World Center for Birds of Prey here in Boise today. It was really spectacular to get that close to the Raptors.

Here is my favorite from the photos I snapped today.

If you're in the area and get a chance to visit the World Center for Birds of Prey, they fly the Raptors at 3pm on Fri, Sat, Sun into November.

Yep, this one is going on the wall. It's my favorite BIF photo I have taken yet.
