"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Young Hawker
The cover of the Georgia Fish & Game brochure for this year. As Anne Pearse Hocker says, no "Nature Deficit Syndrome" here!

That's the daughter of Jimmy Tompkins, Harris Hawk breeder in GA.
Thought that looked like Jimmy's daughter. We never met back in Georgia—I was gone, I think, before he got into the sport—but I met Jimmy and his family when NAFA was last in Kearney, Nebraska. Good people, and I'm glad that C. is now flying a hawk of her own—with obvious success.
Ga. DNR and the local club(s) had better get ready for a huge influx of inquiries...
My boys will be jealous Steve; knowing I used to handle and feed your birds as a young girl and may not have the chance until they get older here in MA - sis K
Yes, that's my daughter and her PMRT "Buke". She's flown him for the last 3 seasons (since November '06) and has done quite well with him. Thanks for sharing her cover shot with everyone.

Ahh, I thought that was Jimmy's daughter. Kudos to them both! That's brilliant.
Second that.
I flew one of Jimmy's tiercels this past winter, a fine, fast, game-cathing little dude. Admiration to the family for a hunting daughter! You go girl!
