Alexei Vlasov, a 28-year-old falconer of the Kremlin ornithological service - a special unit set up in 1984 and overseen by the Federal Guard Service, holds Alpha, a 20-year-old female goshawk, while patrolling the Kremlin in Moscow on March 21, 2019. Alpha soars between the golden domes of the Kremlin, spreading panic among crows perched in nearby trees. The goshawk is one of a dozen birds of prey whose job is to protect President Vladimir Putin's seat of power in Moscow. (Photo by Alexander Nemenov/AFP Photo)
