Apache

Paul has his old NM Gos back, a bird who might  have been his best. He has descendants, with Finnish genes, and if all goes well I may yet fly one.

Accipiter gentilis apache may or may or may not be a valid taxon, but Gila Goshawks are distinctive. First I ever saw was in the late 70's, when rancher John showed me one he had caugh and tamed after it had killed a number of his game fowl. The story is in Q- the - book.

Black, silver, garnet red...
