A 13-year-old eagle huntress in Mongolia

Saw this story a little while ago. It reminded me of falconry and prestige, whereby your title gave you the right to a certain bird. I think golden eagles were (technically) only allowed for the two emperors (Holy Roman and Byzantine/Eastern Roman).
 
A photographer who snapped what could be the world's only girl hunting with a golden eagle says watching her work was an amazing sight.

I don't think she *is* the world's only girl -- I'm sure I saw some others in town this afternoon.
 
Yep, it is an old story - the article is dated 14th April. I'd left it open in another browser window meaning to post it here, but forgot about it - until I started closing a few browser windows I no longer needed. I usually have a lot left open. :)
 
I haven't seen this before, so thank you for posting it! Amazing story...what a different world she and her people live in, from ours. I wonder if they ever get past the natural beauty of the place...it's stunningly gorgeous. And to see her hunting with an eagle, with a backdrop of such of grandeur...what an amazing world it is.

Very interesting story, I like the fact that the Eagles are released back into the wild.
Amazing country, fantastic photos.
