Need a taxidermist

[orygun]

Just as an aside, the Fish and Wildlife Service informed me that I had to turn it in to them. They'll then donate it to an Indian tribe so they can use the eagle feathers. The woman was surprised when I explained that a Sharp-shinned hawk isn't an eagle.

I never expect much knowledge from any Government agency...

I just googled a picture of a sharp-shinned hawk, I would have mistook it for a kestrel.

Kestrel is quite a bit smaller. It's a falcon, so has more pointed wings (almost Peregrine-like).

Among my various careers, I was a government contractor, mostly for the Feds. I could write pages and pages about the total buffoonery I observed. I finally couldn't take it any more and moved on. Seriously, I encountered government employees who literally did NOTHING yet could retire with a huge pension. And those do-nothings would try to tell me how to do the work I was hired to do. The sheer scale of the nonsense is mind-blowing. Most Americans have no clue.
