Black Hawk

( Other portions of there diet consist of lower forms of vertebrates ie.. snakes , lizards and amphibians , about 35% . The rest consisted of small birds , rodents and some insects )

That explains why I have seen them in areas where there is no water for many kilometers around. I'll have to put my spotting scope on them the next time I come across one and take a double look at those legs. First time I saw one at a distance I couldn't tell that much of a difference between one of them and a Harris until I took a double take threw my scope. I realize then it wasn't a Harris. Thank's for the info

Yellow fin tuna fishing from the vow of my kayak with a Osprey, that would be cool

Hey Weasel I'm not planing on buying one , that for sure is a pretty steep price. I just paid $3400 for a pair of Aplomados and I won't be doing that for a while. It set me back alot.

Wilded what do you mean crab eaters? I see them a lot when I go hog hunting East of me to wards Sonora , but theres only hills, valleys and a whole lot of trees where I have noticed them.
There is no water or crabs near by , just tons of quail pheasant, jacks and cotton tails among other wild life in the area.

thats really cheap for aplomadoes! in the uk they are £4000 english pounds a pair that must be about$7000?

I know you guy's in the UK pay a lot of money for some of the birds you fly. For what I've seen in the USA some breedrs are the same , last time I check I believe they were selling Aplomados up there for 4 to 5 thousand dollars per bird. Ridiculous and obscene if you ask me. That's to bad that some people are so greedy and take advantage of there fellow falconers.

When last I was in the UK , that would have been about $1000.00 U.S. , at today's exchange rate $7783.60 U.S
