Looks like he was really cooperating with you.

This is tack sharp and looks good. The fist is a nice touch.

Gee, Thanks ....

I Have Several Good Harris Hawk Opportunties On Most Outings... They Are "Everywhere" This Time Of the Year.... Most Do Not Allow You To Get So Close... From A Blind They Like To Be High, So It Depends On The Location....

I Knew This Was Going To Turn Out Pretty Well. But It Surpassed My Hopes.... This Was the Only Shot Of The "Fist", All The Others Are One Legged... (10).. Then He Squaked And Left... His Way of Saying "I'm Done" ...
