About	Hunting with birds of prey probably originated with the nomadic peoples of the Asiatic plains. The nomads used their tame falcons to help procure the food necessary for survival, in perhaps one of the first methods of hunting ever used by man. Later, falconry developed into a sport, and this fascinating co-operation between man and bird is one of the oldest of all open-air pastimes. Falconry has long been regarded as a noble art. The falconer was seen as a figure of authority - mounted on his horse, surrounded by his hunting companions and with his falcon descending from the sky to rest on his hand. As he controlled his falcon, so he controlled his territory. Throughout history the falcon has been the symbol of high birth and luxury, and its care and training have always been given particular importance. It is known as a superlative hunter, and is particularly valuable in the desert, where climatic conditions are extreme and no protection from the elements is available. Here, the falcon can pursue its prey from a great distance, and with a speed and accuracy second to none. It is no wonder that the desert nomads have always appreciated the stamina and hunting instincts of the falcon. The Bedouin people in particular used this bird to hunt game, which provided an important and nutritious addition to an otherwise monotonous diet.

Ozjan, a beautiful bird and a great descriptive story of the art and sport of the bird. You have captured great detail here and what a background to display it. Beautifully taken. Check out ARMANDO on usefilm, he works with these types of birds I think. Alison

A superb image accompanied with wonderful text. The combination of the two is a delightful change of pace from the many images submitted without any description. Yes, a picture may well be worth a thousand words, but a great picture with well prepared text is priceless. Thank you so much for this.

Ozjan Yeshar {K:18661} 8/28/2004

Thanks a lot Alison and I shall look at ARMANDO's work. Cheers.
