Any other thoughts on if it is a male or female?
It's good to get some feedback on the socialization. Since I am imprinting him at work with me where there are lots of people, his environment won't change later on. He is growing up in the environment he will be hawking and living in later. He will have a perch in my office and hunting nearby.
I am curious about the tame hack of coops. I saw a little discussion about it on James thread, but it never got anywhere. I have read McDermott's article in American falconry where he talks about it producing 2 of the best birds he's ever seen. I also listened to him talk about it at our field meet acouple years ago. Has anyone else tried it? If so, what were the results? The article makes it really enticing to try it, so I'd love to hear other thoughts on the subject.
