Slap, Just spent almost 2 weeks out in mother G. Had a great time with some of the finest peeps you could hang with. Started out with Cheff and the crew from Texas, and ended with a huge Birthday bash.

But this story is about the last ride of the trip, Scat and I headed out for a little ride Friday afternoon. We waited untill the shadows were just right and went outback by the Taco. So after riding on perfect sand with no tracks we stop and take a little break at the taco before heading back to see Wheelie Bar get his 70. Well Mr. Red decides he would come say hi, He flys by to take a look and I get out the camera, normally this is when he takes off but no he sticks around and puts on a show. He says no problem Ifly, take all the pics you want. Then when its time to take off I make a big loop around the taco and head back to were Scat is still sitting. I see him right above her and watching me. I stop so he would not take off. He had to be about 20 feet above Scat and just floating there but I had the camera so no pics of that. Then when we finally do leave Mrs. Red pops out and they were both just cruising around as we headed back to camp.

Slap, I have seen Mr. Red plenty of times but this was by far the best experiece I have ever had with Mr. Red toping off one of the finest trips to Mother G.

OMG Mark...those are bad azz!!!!!!!

Aww man - them pix is sweet Ifly! The story about his just cruising there with you two is even better!

Outfreakingstanding job there Marine!


Oohrah!

You guys have no idea how incredible it was to have Mr Red looking at me.. I swear we were talking and he even waved (in flight he scratched his chin) he hovered over me for over 30 seconds and I could see him so clearly.... This was by far the closest I've ever been to any of our beloved hawks... It was difficult when Mrs Red flew over and landed on the hill where we'd been sitting watching for Mr Red.. They were playing and looked like they were having a ball...


Thank you for posting the pics Ifly, they are truely breathtaking x10 for having been there....

tHAT IS WAY cool!!!!!!

Bad azz Markie Mark.

Awesome

heres a few that we got

YEEEHHHAAAWWW, WHAT A DAY THAT MUST'VE BEEN. Ya know, Slap always knew you had da eye ifly; you and Scat. He seems to really like the both of you, and hot darn, who could blame him. What an experience. Slap thinks that Mr. Red identifies with some folks he sees, and the more he sees of them, the more he becomes comfortable. Slap thinks he was showing you his floating capabilities Scat; showing off for you.

To get that close and see into his eyes; WOW, that has to be da coolest thing in da world. Slap's got goosebumps right now IFLY, and it has really made Slap's day for sure.

definately eye to eye contact was made Slappy....
