Flight of the Condor. Or Hawk. Or Whatever

As you may recall, I went to a Palinka and Sausage Festival one of the first days we were in Budapest. Along with getting very sleepy from all of the Palinka, I also tried out for a part in an episode of Wild Kingdom. Okay, not really, but I thought I should share, in pictorial format, my run-in with this hawk. At least I think it was a hawk of some sort. (Bird-lovers, don’t get mad if I am completely wrong).

Uh, sir, are you sure this is safe?

Uh, sir, are you sure this is safe?

Okay, easy now...

Okay, easy now...

This isn't so bad...

This isn't so bad...

Hey there, little fella!

Hey there, little fella!

Aaack! What are you doing???

Aaack! What are you doing???

[the fact that I just posted this horrible image of my face for all to see should assure you of my commitment to report the series of events accurately, regardless of possible humiliation on my part]

Is it over yet? Is it over yet??

Is it over yet? Is it over yet??

Oh, hey there little fella...

You think that was funny, huh? This awkward smile on my face says otherwise.

    I just laughed myself to tears at the wing flapping photo! Thanks. So good to see your face. So glad you’re playing for a bit. Is the bird a Peregrine Falcon? Maybe it’s too big to be one…in the end: It’s a bird, you held it, it flapped it’s wings…and someone actually got a picture! Perfect!!!

    I would have to agree.. the winging flapping pic was amazing.. but what I found truly AMAZING was you didn’t drop the glasses you were holding when it happened..!!!
    I am glad Audrey sent me the blog page, you both look amazing and it is good to read what is going on.
