The falconer has a red-tailed hawk perched on it.
I guess from high up, the hawk thought it was a real bird of prey and came down to investigate. When he got down and saw it was not real, he just decided it was an opportunity to rest.
Incredible photographs!!!
Oh, what a sweet memorial to Pearl Chin.
