Description My friend ~duck-hawk 's falconry bird, a red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) named Gambit. I hope I did him justice! (Well now previous falconry bird. Gambit was released back in the wild and Duck Hawk is now flying a lanner falcon!)

And awesome info from ~duck-hawk ! Also in case anyone is wondering those little booties on his legs are, they are squirrel chaps to protect his feet from bites, the little grey diamonds are shiny and attract the squirrel's attention. He also has on bells for me to hear.



I haven't talked with watercolors in a while, but thought it would be a nice break from digital. This is 4" x 6" and I am in no way a master of the medium.

I agree with Nash, this looks really amazing. I'm always impressed when people work well with watercolors. The colors here look so nice and controlled.

Well, for not being a master of the medium, it sure looks dandy! And I love the squirrel chaps, that's super nifty!

Hee. I think your friend is mistaken. Clearly those are level 12 boots, with +agility and +strength.

My lame nerdiness aside, I think that's an awesome name for a hawk.
