I heard a cardinal singing 'pretty, pretty' around 7:15 am today.

Apparently Harris’s Hawk is one of the most common bird of prey kept in captivity in the uk because it’s not classed as rare or endangered and doesn’t require paperwork.

Can’t trick a birder!
We’re in the uk at the moment- I’ll keep my eyes open for a Harris’s Hawk!

We saw Hamnet last night. The best movie I’ve seen in a long time. It’s set in early 17th C England, mostly around Stratford upon Avon. A hawk figures prominently in the early scenes, and there are a number of good veiws of the animal. It is quite clearly a Harris’s Hawk, not common in west-central England.
