Photographed on October 4, 2014, Ashol-Pan, the daughter of a particularly celebrated hunter, may well be the country's only apprentice huntress. Each year Kazakh eagle hunters gather in Bayan-Ölgii aimag, Mongolia for the eagle festival. The hunters (Burkitshi) celebrate their heritage and compete to catch small animals such as foxes and hares with specially trained golden eagles, showing off the skills both of the birds and their trainers. Prizes are awarded for speed, agility and accuracy, as well as for the best traditional Kazakh dress, and more.
