Today's Oil Study - A Harris Hawk

I don't think I've painted a Harris Hawk before.  The bird is only found in a small part of the U.S. so it may not be a very well-known bird...but I painted one anyway because of the fabulous colors.  I used the complement of the orange/brown for the background and like the zing it added to the painting.
