The Harris' hawk has become the most popular hawk and is the greatest invention in 20th century falconry. It is a most versatile and adaptable hawk. It will perform in all sorts of country-side, in all sorts of weather, fly at all sorts of quarry and do it in all sorts of ways. It is the easiest of all hawks in falconry to train and handle.Due to it's social behaviour, the Harris' hawk tames quickly and develops an affection for it's handler. They are quick learners, quite intelligent and will improve with age. They are very consistent and will take quite large quarry: rabbits, hares and ducks. The Harris' hawk is easy to train to fly with other Harris' hawks in casts or even groups. Many experienced falconers do not recommend Harris'es to beginners. They are considered too easy to train, and the beginner is not believed to learn enough about training a hawk from training a Harris' hawk. Never the less falconry owes a large part of its growing popularity in the last 20-30 years, to the Harris hawk, as it has become the most common hawk in western falconry

@ Steen, you did a hell of a job with this bird. Last vacation we visited a falconry show (?) in Gondorf Germany, were also these so called Harris' hawks were flying, with their speed they are not easily to catch on photo......
Landing owls are more easy as you can see .........

Here are a few of mine...
I made a complete series of this heron in flight (and standing/walking). Of course only a few turned out to be worth keeping.
