Puzzle Description:

Woman working with a bird of prey near a lake. I created this out of my head, without even knowing if there is such a person called the Bird Whisperer. What I discovered I explain in the first comment.

I found about three men who call themselves Bird Whisperer. When I searched for a Bird Whisperer that works with eagles, I found Kim Stroud of the Ojai Raptor Center in Ventura County, California. Kim runs the center and works with orphaned and injured birds of prey.

Here is a link to an interesting article and a few photos, in which she looks very much like the Bird Whisperer in my picture.

I did not know ANYTHING about her before creating this puzzle.

I feel as though I have been there. Very weird.

Nice concept and image. Fun to solve, too. If there are horse whisperers, why not bird whisperers too? :-)

Thanks, Adam. I figured there must be one somewhere, I just didn't know the real one would so closely match my puzzle image.

I was hoping the bird whisperer would be Snoopy but this is good too! :)

This one was fun to solve. At first I thought the trees were transformers and the woman some sort of power pole. After a lot of erasing :) I see the image. Think I'm getting addicted to eraser dust or to the sneeze it causes.

LOL! Thanks, Mary and Shae.

How interesting! I watch the "Dog Whisperer" on TV all the time. I love the idea that there are Bird Whisperers, too!

Shouldn't that be hoarse whisperers and brr'd shiverers?
#13: Teresa K (fasstar) on Oct 9, 2018
Hahaha. Thanks for the chuckle, perlwolf!

I don't know if there are bird whisperers, but there is a Falconer
