A female Aplomado Falcon named Baraka perches on the hand of her trainer Raul Palacios as he gives an interview and demonstration of his training techniques alongside the bay of Asuncion, Paraguay, Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014. Baraka and other falcons trained by Palacios, a veterinarian, are being used to chase migratory birds away from airplanes that service the capital's airport, in an effort to reduce the risk of birds getting sucked into plane turbines and causing aviation accidents.
