Could someone please tell me roughly how big a male harris's head is? I've been trying to find out all over the internet and can't find it, I plan on attempting the hood out of Emma Fords book "Falconry, Art and Practice".

Can anyone help?

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze

(North American Falconry and Hunting Hawks). Finding a copy online is called "pirating". Pirating is bad. Looking in my copy though, I'm not seeing the chart. Sorry.

Oh well, thankyou for taking the time to look.
