Default Some new Mounts

Hello everyone,
its been a long time I haven't had the time to enjoy the forum here as much as I like to... but here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
Hope you enjoy them. (sorry if you have already seen some of these on my Facebook page).
More feathers this time than fur... but the next batch will even it out, stay tuned.
Cheers
Ben.




Adult male Goshawk.







adult female grey Gyr falcon: (a very lucky find)







Rough legged hawks chasing each other:







and the last one is an Adult female White Gyr falcon.
Gyr falcons are the biggest falcons in the world and can be found in southern Alberta mostly but in Grey Phase. This White one is THE FIRST documented adult White Gyr falcon in southern Alberta, found close to Medicine Hat.
It will go for public display in Med Hat as well... (of course it will go under glass case).

Been a big fan of taxidermy for a long time and your birds are the best I've ever seen. Very skilled.
