Falconer Releases Hawk From Gauntlet on Rainy Botswana Moor

by Johnnie Powell

Mist lingers over wet grass along a game trail in Botswana, softening the green hues of the rainy season. A low angle view looks up at a leather gauntlet held against a gray sky. The leather shows deep creases and a worn texture, gripping a hawk with mottled brown and gray feathers. The bird's talons release their hold, spreading wings that catch the diffused dawn light. Water droplets rest on the feathers and the rough leather surface. Behind them, the trail stretches back through the mist, fading into a hazy white void where the horizon meets the sky. One feather floats down, catching the light before landing on a wet blade of grass.
