Back porch visitor

[EdD]

I know it isn't legal, but looking at that bird I can't help but think of soft hackles, and wing and tail materials.
Oh well...

Some more info on the visitor, our porch has a roof over it, but open sides. This hawk has to feel fairly comfortable to come in under a roof as my wife and I have found out with some research. It has been back at least two more times that we know of. The door windows are now much cleaner, now if the bird will just let me get another pic! Ed, that was one of my thoughts also after I really looked at the pic closely.

I was thinking more that you should get a book on falconry, a gauntlet, and teach it to 'fish' for you.

BB, Have seriously thought of this with an osprey especially after having watched the size of the fish they catch in the wild! My luck, the bird would catch one size for me and the next larger for itself. I have too many other irons on the fires to do the bird justice if I did such.
