Very cool and nicely done...would love the chance to see and shoot these guys. I had the chance to see and photograph a Harris Hawk on a business trip to Florida two years ago. Oddly, it was when a falconer brought the Hawk and a few other birds to the hotel for a planned event and falconry demonstration. He had it flying "freely" around the grounds of the hotel. Though I got a few decent shots, I immediately lamented the fact that my shots were not of a wild bird. In the forum here we often debate the costs of long lenses. I was quite stunned at what the cost of some of these exotic birds was.

They are fairly common here in the Phoenix area. They often work in trios. One will capture the attention of a quail on the ground and one of the other two will swoop in from behind for the pick. Trapping Harris Hawks here is legal and there is a market for falconers I stumbled on a trapper & asked him what he was doing with them. His response: “Teach him to hunt rabbits.” Pretty sure they know how to hunt rabbits.

One of the most popular Falconry birds. I was lucky enough to watch one in action in Delaware. Alas before the photography bug got me
