Falconer Walking Hawk on Fist Through Stubble in in Myanmar

Falconer Walking Hawk on Fist Through Stubble

by Frederick Ray

Cool season light falls through a thin layer of fog across a vast stubble field in Myanmar. A falconer moves forward with deliberate steps, wearing a heavy leather glove on the left hand. A hawk perches alertly atop the fist, its sharp talons gripping the thick hide. The bird’s plumage shows earthy browns and grays that match the dry, cut stalks of rice or millet scattered on the ground. The sky above is a pale, washed-out blue where the fog lifts slightly. Shadows stretch long and soft across the uneven terrain, showing the rugged texture of the landscape. The hawk’s head turns sharply, scanning the horizon with intense focus. at the edge is the bird’s eye, a dark, unblinking bead reflecting the pale sky.
