Chris, Would you ID the bird for me?

Thanks Chris.
My son wants to work with raptors as a career someday.

[Spankenstyne]

That's awesome. He should look into apprenticing with falconry. I don't know the regs where you are but there are many clubs out there where you can learn what's required to get involved. It's quite time consuming & can be expensive to maintain. I can't think of a more rewarding career than working with animals though, I'm hoping to do the same.

Best of luck with your career.
I'm hoping a few of my kids will make their studies in animals.
My daughter Gabby wants to be a herpetologist working mainly with snakes.
She's only 11 but has been tagged by some big snake but keeps coming back for more. She's my snake buddy.
