Congrats on your falconry and that BISON!
I admire anyone that goes to such effort to raise and fly birds like that. It ain't no casual hobby.
Do you hunt the Harris hawks together so they can team up? That would be amazing to watch.
Happy chewing!

Amazing pics for sure. Your Ferruginous looks like it might have killed a skunk, (pic 224, https://www.klarphotography.com/p30472897/h98F36147#hd4c17005). Is that what it is and how did it turn out for you? Never thought about one taking something I might not want them to take. Could be a surprise now and then.

Opening day of duck season we were surrounded by raptors... multiple merlins, sharp-shinned, a very pale goshawk, a couple falcon that almost for sure were peregrines, eagles... Lots of bird killers. It was very cool.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Is that what it is and how did it turn out for you? Never thought about one taking something I might not want them to take. Could be a surprise now and then. striped skunks are not protected in Utah, so no biggie. Other stuff that is protected has to be reported and is subject to the let it lay rule: you have to report to the state within 24 hours (just an email) and they'll cross reference that with your annual kill reports. Endangered animals or species of concern level II have to be reported to both the state and the USFWS (such as the burrowing owl the HAHAs killed a few years ago). I'm sure the system could be abused, but I've never gotten more than a "thanks for the report" response so far. The let it lay rule means the bird can feed on the carcass, but it cannot be taken into possession -- it has to be left where it fell, which usually means burying it to get the bird to transfer off of it.

Hey Lefty,
So good to see pics of the birds again. Along with the Friday music threads your falconry posts made Friday a day of expectation.
Thanks for putting up the ferruginous pics, wonderful birds, and BIG when full grown.
Hope the rest of life is treating you well too,
Geno

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

Your photography has always been spectacular. Recently gained an interest in night sky pics. Ever done any?
Think I'm gonna buy a camera...
