Raptor Fest was held in Jackson this year on the Snow King
softball fields. As usual, it was very well attended.

Each year on Father's Day, a family
event is held at the Teton Raptor Center. I try to
attend every year as it gives me the opportunity to take
some photos of the raptors on display.
The tradition of face painting for kids makes for some
great photos as well.
When I left the event, I decided to drive Spring Gulch
Road to at least scout for future locations.
I found one and took a photo. I would like to go back
under less contrasty lighting and retake the photo.
I dropped Bruce Canaga off at the
Jackson airport around 9:30 AM. I brought my camera gear
along but there were no clouds in the sky. I debated
whether or not to take a drive into the Park and decided
why not!
I am so glad that I did as the clouds, nice clouds,
began to appear. I wanted to take photos that were not
the standard photos so I drove the Pacific Creek and
Pilgrim Creek Roads and worked compositions looking back
at the Tetons with various foreground elements.

This was the second annual version of this
event. I was once again asked by my good friend Emily Nichols to
come take photos. She used the photos I took last year in their
promotional and communications literature.

Teton Raptor Center in Wilson WY hosts an open
house. I discovered this last year and now
this is on my annual calendar. They have a
number of raptors out in the open (tethered,
of course) where folks can view them. The
handlers will also hold the birds as folks
gather around for a closer view. At some point, a handler
will let a bird fly away and then return on
command. Pretty cool!

You get to see Birds of Prey up close, get
to see some of them fly, good food to eat
and music to boot.
