He's beautiful! I'm glad Blackjack escaped.
I love birds of prey. I can watch them for hours even when they're just sitting in a tree. There is something truly majestic and regal about them. They have an arrogance that no other birds have -- they know they earn their food, not just pick it out of the dirt. In general, I am not a bird fan, sorry. I find them noisy and dirty but raptors just enthrall me. Thanks for sharing the picture of such a beautiful one (guess what my new wallpaper is lol).
