Hey Lefty,
Thanks for putting up the ferruginous pics, wonderful birds, and BIG when full grown.
too,
Geno And then some! Her post feeding weight is bigger than both the HAHAs put together. Most falconers believe ferrugis should be classified as booted eagles (Aquila sp) -- they have the temperament (and temper!) of an eagle and are nearly as strong. With the DNA testing being done now, that may well happen in the future -- they now know falcons are not related to hawks and eagles at all but rather in the parrot family. An interesting example of convergent evolution That is surprising and amazing, thank you!

Thanks for dropping in. Always enjoy seeing photos of your “killer birds” 😁
While watching you groom young birds to become efficient hunters I’ve come to realize that falconry is more of a way of life rather than a hobby and requires a huge investment in time and money.

It certainly is, or is at least supposed to be, a major commitment. One of the biggest gripes us old timers have about the millenials is the lack of focus on hunting and the desire for some "arm candy". It's become too easy to get a falconry license with way too many peeps just posting pics of themselves on instagram and FB.

Cooling down a 1900# carcass in 90*F heat was one of the biggest logistical challenges I've faced! All worked out though -- I brought a 20 cu ft freezer and propane generator and it worked perfectly!

Matt, You and your posts are sorely missed around here, but it's understandable.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
