    Wish they'd get it right, it's a Harris Hawk, not a Harrier Hawk.

    Maybe they made that mistake as it was working in an athletic environment, Rolf!

    I like the idea though. If Harris Hawks would predate Woodpigeons and Squirrels, I might have one here - though caring for and feeding him would probably be more costly than replacing the food (and feeders) those two uninvited visitors use up!

    Good news - Rufus is back home again!

    - Although they still call him a Harrier Hawk, Rolf! Do you think they are confusing Hen (and other) Harriers with this Hawk?
