Hello, My name is John McElfish.....I live in East Texas (Tyler area)...while fishing on a city park lake today (Oct. 30, 2012) a large hawk swooped in on me....he showed no fear and appeared to be attractd to my artificial lure....he was wearing leather straps and bells......after taking sveral photos of the raptor, it occured to me he was a "falconry" flyer. However, to the best of my knowledge his owner was no where to be found.....is it possible this animal is "lost"? Is there a group in the Tyler area I can contact? Would love to give the owner some info to help recover this beautiful bird. jmcelfish@suddenlink.net
Thanks,
John McElfish
