    Redtail on Rattlesnake. If you look closely his talon is inside the mouth. He probably caught 10 or so one season. Scared me to death everytime.

    Lee, can you please post the pictures here. I can not get to Flicker to copy pictures for the front page. At least not from where I do the majority of my moderator duties.

    Take lots and lots of photos, you cant get them all wrong lol. The colours are usually tweaked during post processing to more resemble what I remember.

    Second pic there DEFINITELY needs to be in a raptor or falconry calendar for a fall month!
    (I'd love it if someone here would be interested in making a falconry calendar! I'll bet a bunch of the members here would volunteer their pics for a free calendar. I'd love to have one. It would be perfect for hanging in the mews/weighing room to scribble all your falconry notes and important dates...)

    Lauren, That is beautiful. Very pretty, thanks! You have prospered in Arkansas, I think. Those shots could just as easily been in the Willamette Valley. Perhaps when you come home.

    Tell us how you have found your hawk on kills with the neck bell. I know it is good.

    Thanks! I do have a higher-resolution version that I printed out for myself, and if someone wanted to include it or any others I have, I'd be happy to share, of course. I love the calendar idea!

    And thank you, Eric! I absolutely love the neck bell for my Coops. It's an imperative for hawking in this tall grass here, I feel. Not only for on kills, but for when she misses and runs around on foot in the grass looking for her bird. Makes life a lot easier on me!
