Falconry at Burritt (Connor)



         ~Falconry Display at Burritt on the Mountain~

        A couple days ago we went to a display where two paragrine falcon owners talked about their birds. 

It was held at a place we go to pretty often called burrit on the mountain. Mr. Burrit decided to give his 

165 acres and mansion to be made into a mueseum when he died. The falcon owners talked 

mostly about their birds hunting and how they do it. They let their birds just fly to their perches, but did 

not let them free fly because their were lots of people their. It was very intresting and I learned some new 

things.After that we went on a walk with some bird watchers. They taught how to use binoculars correctly, and what to get depending on what you want to do. We walked on Mr. Burrit's property which has lots of 

trees and is at the top of a mountain like hill. We did not see to many birds because, they were not very 

active. Then after that we went to a show where a man who owned 11 exotic birds talked about them. It 

was a very cool one hour display! He had one of the biggest, and smallest owls on earth! He also had a 

falcon, and some birds related to crows, and much more!! We had a very fun day at Burrit on the 

Mountain!!
