bfisher, those photos are very interesting; it's amazing that happened in your backyard!
In the end I liked the book despite certain aspects of it. I'm left with the feeling that Macdonald partially decided to train a goshawk to eventually write a book about it. Nothing wrong with that really except that she played the decision off as a more emotional one devoid of the lure of future literary prospects, which ties back to the other little things I noticed here and there in the book that I didn't really buy. Regardless, the writing itself was great.
As some of you may already know, this book is currently up and in voting for the Goodreads yearly book awards. It's in the general non-fiction section, which I think is odd since there's a separate autobiography/memoir section.
