Most of you that know me have seen a little "addition" to my "family" this past December. If you can see me on Facebook, you have been able to watch first hand as I start a new chapter in my life as a hobby.

So for all of you that haven't seen him...... Here is "Gunny"

My Red-Tailed Hawk :-)



Notice that he is perched on top of my Orange VER gun... Next to another AGD marker. He's a bird of standards!




He's a Passage Male Red Tail Hawk (under a year, juvenile) Born March/April of 2014. I trapped him December 7th 2014. He weighed 1297g when I got him. He weighs 879 grams today. I got my falconry permit this last season (yes, it is a federal crime to have a bird like this without a license). He's ready to free fly (fully trained to hunt with me) as soon as the wind dies down a bit.
