Falconry In The Black Forest Unusual scenes show the survival of one of the world's oldest and most noble forms of hunting in the Black Forest of Germany (? - or maybe Austria) where falconers train feathered killers - hawk, falcons and even the mighty sea eagle - to loyalty and cooperation with the huntsman. Men train the birds to hunt for prey, first on a long leash, then with more freedom. The men wear thick gloves so birds can perch on their arm without hurting them. Includes CUs of birds (heads). Eagle (?) is sprayed with water; birdbath of sorts.
