Its a little late in the year, but I got the bug and started looking for a passage redtail to finish out the season with. I wanted a female, but unfortunately I wasnt even able to be that picky! I spent countless hours and miles looking in vain, in typically redtail filled areas [smilie=eusa_think.gif]

I finally called on the help of a friend, whos been seeing a lot of passage birds in his area, and the end result was me coming home with this beast today! She was 53.5 ounces hooded and socked [smilie=icon_thumright.gif] I think I can live with that!

Shes a little rough around the edges, but if shes survived this long I guess thats understandable. Here are some pics. Shes not to photogenic (But I'll get some better ones later) and I just got back from a half day road trip after working a night shift so I look (and feel) like hell!

Gotta go get some real anklets on her and start making a custom hood!




And in case anyone ever noticed,,,,yes I do were the same clothes everyday [smilie=dontknow.gif] JK
