Red-Necked Falcon (Red-Headed Merlin)







My new little bird arrived last night (or rather this morning at 1:30am). He's 150g of pure coolness.






Thanks to my buddy Keith Richman of CA for sending this little fella to me. Keith has been flying him all summer and decided to let me have a crack at him. He was bred by Bill Meeker who will hopefully have some of these guys available to the falconry community soon.

Is that the one that had a little bit of a log going on NAFEX? Sounded like a neat little bird if it is! Looking forward to seeing what you can do with him!

Eric Edwards said...

Yep, that's him.

Is the plan to make this one a Snipe-r too or you have a different plan for him?

Eric Edwards said...

Probably not, I think he's smaller than a snipe. I think sparrows will be more his speed.
