We have a hawk also and I love him - sits on my front railing for hours at a time and then makes a catch. I can not sneak up to any window he can all most rotate his head 360 degrees . I have been trying to get a picture of him for my grandkids but haven't been able to yet- My son was in California this weekend and out at the motel there was a man with a hawk. The bird is trained to zoom and scare wild birds off the golf course and the motel acres. My grandchildren were very impressed but scared to death when he flew back to the arm of the trainer Sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
