I was involved with a Bay winged Hawk* breeding program for a long time, and I fell so much in love with those birds I lost my taste for falcons...did fly a lagger for a while, never tried a lanner...pretty little things, but not much good hunting down here in zoniville !
Am really intrigued by some of the smaller eagles...the ferruginous doesn't have the "oomph" for the big jacks, and a golden is out of my sights with all the ridiculous paperwork the feds require (on top of the already huge pile of permits I have to have ) so, maybe a steppe eagle ...it's either that or back to the accipiters for me !

*note: while you can still legally remove these from the wild, I think it is morally quite wrong...they are being hurt immensely by the new construction going up...hundreds dead from power lines in Tucson...the power companies are slowly upgrading their poles, but to tax a wild source at this time is wrong!!!
