Raymond,
I sure hope you were just kidding about flying COMBAT with hawks.
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T COMBAT WITH THE HAWKS!!!
They were there first. We are the intruders. Consider what can happen if you
combat with the local birds:
1. If the bird wins, you are out 1 toy. B.F.D.
2. If you "win", THE BIRD DIES!!! You might not call this winning. At the
very least, the bird is crippled and vulnerable to other predators.
It's a GAME for us.
It's LIFE OR DEATH for the hawks.
Not to mention what that nice man with the badge & firearm will have to say
to anyone else that would like to fly at that site ever again...
