Thank you! I was really happy that it snowed, it let me get some nice shots!

Yep! Both feet firmly locked on my right hand for an hour! My thumb is still numb!

Ouch, really? It's probably still in a shock-mode. The numbness will wear off eventually.

Yea, it's either gonna go away, or he got a nerve. (Not gonna lie, I would totally be ok with that. It's not a visible Congo scar, but I'll remember it forever )

Haha yea, he could have grabbed my face! (He usually goes for people's heads!)

Yowch! A good friend of mine had to release a red-shouldered hawk because she was becoming so aggressive, particularly trying to grab at the face!

My arms were so tired from trying to keep him away from my head for that whole hour. Hawks can reach REALLY far! And when he bites, he bites to kill. I told him I was going to turn him into a pillow.

Broadwinger In reply to EdgedFeather [2014-12-14 23:58:21 +0000 UTC]

Mwahaha, what a wonderful pillow he'd make...

EdgedFeather In reply to Broadwinger [2014-12-15 04:13:48 +0000 UTC]

He'd either be really comfy, or the WORST pillow ever!

Broadwinger In reply to EdgedFeather [2014-12-17 00:11:53 +0000 UTC]

Lol, he'd probably be a prickly pillow!

Of course! The other day I had to get him out of his box because Ash was away and he got my right hand with both feet. Held on for an hour. My thumb is still numb!
