Merlin Sculpture

[bulldogger243]

I have a picture of a Merlin I completed recently for a couple in N. California but can't figure out how to get it on here. So until I do figure it out you can view it at www.sierracreekstudios.com there's also some photos of my current project a Bald Eagle as well. For future reference will someone PLEASE instruct me in putting pictures on here? Thanks

Hey Jeff, is that my golden in the pictures? Those pictures look awfully familiar.

[bulldogger243]

It sure is!! How was your move? I have not been around very much as I have been really busy as you can see from my website. By the way, I'm looking for a Harris Hawk, know anyone who is giving one up? I saw the photo of the "golden" you took and I have it as my screensaver what a awesome photo!!! Was wondering if I could put it on my website with the rest of them? What did you think of the Merlin?

Jeff, no doubt in anyone's mind how good the work you do is. Yes, you can use the picture of Zoltar.
Don't know of anyone giving up a HH at the moment. I do know someone who might want to give up a gyr-prairie teircel.
The move has been fantastic for me. Still own the property in California. Talk about wildlife, this place has it with no falconers to fight over the fields and no traffic. This is what retirement is all about.
Stay in touch.

Hey man I can relate! My wife and I bought a place 10 miles south of Yosemite in Oakhurst, CA. I just got back from a 10 trip up there putting on a shed addition so I would have more studios space. Right now the apple orchard is blooming and beautiful and there's deer all over the place!! With what I do for a living, I don't think I'll ever retire, I love it to much. My wife retires from teaching in seven years and then we will move permenantly. Thank you so much for letting me use the photo and if you have anymore you think you would want to send my way send them to [e-mail] If you hear of anyone wanting to unload a Harris please give me a hollar. Thanks again and I'll be in touch

there is a female for sale on the raptors nest for ya if you want it

[bulldogger243]

Thanks for the info on the harris. I have a email into the falconer who owns it. Maybe I'll get a response.

[dirthawker]

not a problem good luck. they are a fun bird to fly. I would still be flying mine but I gave him up to a breeder so that I could try some new stuff. but will probably go back to one at some point. probably a cast of males next time

Bulldogger,

That merlin looks HORRIBLE.. I think you need to send it to me for disposal!!!!
Along with all you other statues.

I expected the bird to pounce on something below it. Looks great!!!!!
