She is such a pretty bird

 

I am torn between a Harris Hawk and a Red Tail come this year when I start my apprenticeship. Both fit the type of hunting available here and both are beautiful birds. I really like the social interaction of the Harris Hawk but I also rally like the fearlessness of the Red Tail in cover.

 

Decisions, decisions

 

I am pretty sure that the Harris Hawk is gonna win

NTTF Whats the temp like in your part of Canada?

Harris's suffer from wingtipadema. If they're in a cold wind all the time, its a bit like blaine or frost bite. a large blister appears on the wing then the tip can drop off.

I know from reading NAFA hawk chalks that a few are flown up that far. Good luck.

It has been on average -20 here the past 3 weeks, but I will be building an indoor mews for the bad weather periods. I am thinking of 8' x 16' Not planning on heating it, but with 2 heat bulbs in it it should stay at a comfortable level.

 

Thanks for the heads up, if you come up with anything else please pass it forward
