Harris' Hawk blog: Does use of tools define humans?
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/does-use-of-tools-define-humans.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Friday, August 14, 2009. Does use of tools define humans? For a long time, one of the defining tenants of humanity was that humans were capable of planning, for-thought, and the use of tools. Since that time there have been discoveries that other animals are capable of using tools without being trained to do so. They then go on to state:. In all, the crows needed three sticks of different lengths to ...

Harris' Hawk blog: Crazy busy
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/crazy-busy.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Sunday, June 12, 2011. Things are nuts here. I'm working both jobs right now, and on the only days I have had off since April I had to make a run to New York to see my brother get married. 12 hours each way, with a two night stay. Crazy. Coming from North Carolina, it seems strange that going to New York feels like I'm driving to the country. It is a nice drive, but Long. Late in the morning, I had t...

Harris' Hawk blog: A walk with the dogs
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/walk-with-dogs.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Saturday, May 21, 2011. A walk with the dogs. I don't get out with my dogs enough. They love to get out and run, off lead, and I think it is good for them to do that. I was able to find a few hours last week to get them up in the dunes. It was the perfect spring day for it, slight breeze and slowly rising temps. We meandered through the sloping sand and found lots of holes to explore. I've had Gonzo ...

Harris' Hawk blog: Meandering
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/meandering.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. For those of you that don't know - I teach school. But with summer just around the corner, my "other" job has started. The one that allows me to afford my teaching habit. My other job allows me to spend more quiet time, driving on some back roads, places I don't usually go. On these trips I am fortunate to see things I wouldn't normally see. Box turtles are cool. Tess came to...

Harris' Hawk blog: Bad news Good news
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/bad-news-good-news.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Bad news Good news. Gonzo's talon did not heal correctly. Even though we wrapped it, then splinted it. It still was pulling to the left an alarming amount, and the toe was starting to swell. Obviously, my doctoring didn't work. I held Gonzo on the kitchen table while Arnaud took a good look - the prognosis wasn't great. As a side note - no eggs from the hawks yet. Sorry to hea...

Harris' Hawk blog: May 2011
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Saturday, May 21, 2011. I'm thinking a lot about what is going to happen next season and the idea of a kestrel has cropped up more than once. Then I saw this little nugget over at Little Mews on the Prairie. It is a great little article. About the differences in kestrels and how to tell a passage falcon from a hag. I have a hard time with this, but the pictures really help. A walk with the dogs.

Harris' Hawk blog: Hiatus
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/hiatus.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Saturday, May 7, 2011. I took a break. I haven't been reading blogs - or posting on my own. In the meantime, Spring has truly sprung here in eastern NC. I kept waiting to post, hoping that I would have big news from the breeding chambers of the harris hawks. Gonzo would go and move a stick here or there. Tess would take all of her food up to the ledge to eat at the nest. No eggs, no eggs, no eggs.

Harris' Hawk blog: Rats and bees could solve the problem
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/rats-and-bees-could-solve-problem.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Friday, June 17, 2011. Rats and bees could solve the problem. What problem, you may ask. The problem of many African animals facing extinction. Currently, some animals are being pushed towards extinction because the people in Africa have to eat (yeah, the nerve of them). It is called bush meat. Sing and often illegal trade in bushmeat. Then I found this:. In parts of West and Central Africa, cane rat...
