I love Harris Hawks. One of my favorite raptors that I have experience with. I've had the pleasure to be around 4 males, though none of them really seemed to take to me and one outright dislikes me. If you have ever heard a Harris Hawk scream at something, it makes me jump out of my skin every time that one bird does it when I come near. Especially if I don't know he is there. It is worse than a red tail screaming at me. This video has a beautiful female named Belle and she screams at a poodle a couple of times at the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf7Dbte9c7o

As for any criticism, not too much. Mainly small details. Need to be a little careful when using reference pictures because females are distinctly larger than males and their heads & bodies have a few differences in how rounded they are. Going off of memory, I believe the males have a flatter head and the females are more rounded. The drawing is maybe a little too "fluffy" around the eye, the tan patch in front of it is more skin with fine hair like feathers. Not sure how far the head is turned away from the viewpoint but it looks like the eye is a little too close to the nare. The bill looks a little too thin near the cere but too thick near the tip. An adjustment to the curve might help a little. They have a pretty darn good hook on the tip. Maybe a glint of a highlight could help define it more. Other than that, I think you have a great WIP going. I'll be watching for the finished piece!

Oh, you're a falconer, I suppose? how interesting! I have wanted to connect my life with birds for a very long time, but it seems that there is nowhere to learn this in my city.
as for the differences in the shape of the head, they surprised me, before that I only saw information about the difference in size
regarding the criticism, thank you, I will take this into account when I finish the work!!

Not a falconer, unfortunately. Though it is something I'd love to do. I did volunteer work for a raptor rescue organization. That was interrupted by the Covid thing. I hadn't yet made it to the point where I would have gotten training to handle those birds when they shut down the volunteer program in order to isolate and protect the staff as much as they could. But I was frequently within arms reach of quite a few of the permanent resident birds that could not be released. The only ones I did have direct hands on was with a crow and a raven and they became my buddies.

it's a pity that everything turned out this way, although it's a great experience anyway! I think now covid has come to naught more or less, so, probably, it would be possible to start thinking in this direction again!

Love all the texture! If you're going for more humanoid it looks great, though if you want more feral then I would rotate the body some. Right now it feels very upright, though I'm nitpicking, really.

Anyway, thanks, I'll think about it!

Birb!

such impecable work! ^^
