Holding a Bird of Prey

On October 24, 2009, I held a red winged falcon at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

This is what it looked like, and I think it was cool.

It got a little bit too heavy for me, and I had to wear a special glove because of its talons. It had lost some of its toes because of some poisonous snake bites from a water moccasin. It ate the snake in the end.
