Awesome birds :]

oh man, I've always wanted to try falconry with something ridiculous (like a golden eagle)

Not that it'll ever happen.

Very cool! My dad has a friend who hunts small game with a Red-Shoulder and a Harris Hawk.

I thought you might like to see these pics I took last month of a very unusual colored Red-Tailed Hawk that killed a squirrel in my neighbors yard. It was super friendly. I took theses pics from maybe 7-8 feet from it.

Thats a really really light phased redtail! lol

Squirrel hawking is one of the most dangerous aswell, because they well and truly fight back, you can buy leather ankle protectors specially for birds that hunt squirrels.

Same as me then! Im looking to pay approx £400 for a decent one, you can get cheaper but theyre imprints, NEVER get imprints! Get parent reared, will cost more but so so so so much more worth it!

Yea, I have always had a thing for RTH, golden eagles, and PFs. Sweet, $400 ain't that bad. I need to wait until I get into it first though, haha.
