The hood with the wood ducks on it is my all time favorite Moran hood. I have several of John's hoods as well. I met with him in May of this year and bought from him the Dazzler he made for one of his current falcon's "Lealu". The hood, according to John, was inspired by the comet "Kohoutek" that he witnessed in the sky back in 1973. He says that "Lealu" comes across the sky and strikes her quarry like a comet! John is about as layed back and nice a guy as you'll ever meet. Truly a pioneer in modern day hood making with a style that is often imitated but NEVER duplicated.
