Falcons rely on thermal updrafts of air to keep them aloft at a couple thousand feet. They rely on the ability to swoop down on their prey from above without even being noticed. The falconers here try to keep their birds below 300 feet. They are more interested in scaring the birds away rather killing them. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Raymond Hoy)
