sugarzebra Cream of the Crop  More info | Jun 25, 2009 15:39 | #1 We had a car show & BBQ at our church for Father's Day and to keep the gulls away (from messing up the cars) we had a falconer bring three Harris Hawks and they did a fabulous job. The gulls circled but wouldn't come within 100 yards. This was taken with my 24-105 birding lens, but I did replace the BG  Scott
