Shane's friend that we met through craigslist is into falconry. He has fourteen of these beautiful birds. We traded him a dog box for a pointer elhew puppy, so while bringing the puppy, he thought he would bring the bird too. It was awesome to see this bird up close, and watch him eat a dead sparrow out of Shane's hand. Shane is now looking into a new hobby (in his spare time, ha ha) of being this friends apprentice, only we would start out with a red tail hawk. 
The falcon became very anxious around gunner and I had to lock him up. It was funny to see him call/talk when he got nervous.
Eating the sparrow.
Almost a blueish tint to his beak and eye feathers, this one is not full grown.

Wow that is cool!!! We'll have to come visit and see your new puppy. Pretty soon you're going to have a whole petting zoo. :)
That is so cool, I.ll have to show this to Ryan.
Magnificant bird. It takes a MAN to hold it on his arm for so long. Way to go....
Shane, I think you should start a new hobbie ! Very Cool :)
