A moment of trust between falconer and raptor — captured in the wild heart of West Virginia.

The Homestead Resort offers guests the opportunity to take part in falconry experiences where they can learn about the skills of falconry and interact with trained falcons. Observing these birds up close and learning about their behavior, training, and role in history are unique opportunities presented by these experiences. Guests may also participate in activities such as flying falcons and watching them hunt with their own hands.

This is a striking falconry photo featuring a woman holding a Harris's Hawk (identifiable by its chestnut shoulders and legs, dark plumage, and white tail tip) on a gloved hand, set against a lush, green forest background. It's a compelling image for nature, wildlife, or outdoor enthusiasts — especially those interested in birds of prey or falconry.
