Birds of prey
While at the Terranea resort last week, we encountered a guy with some interesting birds. He was trying to get certified I forgot as what but he needed to train a hawk and he had one, a beautiful female Harris Hawk:

He had an Asian owl as well – one that he was using to drive off the pigeons and ocean pigeons (seagulls) from the property. This one was so gorgeous, you got the impression he had put make up on that morning:
