Prince is a Big Hawk

Harris's hawks are one of the larger hawks in Texas. Cornell describes them as being larger than a Cooper's and smaller than a Golden Eagle. I kept this shot of Prince in his flight cage to show the size of the whole bird. Check those talons. Looks like he has been shredding the underside of that wooden beam.
