Wow. Great shot. Not sure if she looks happy or not. I think I would have been happier if the bird was facing the other way. LOL.

This hawk has a bad sense of direction.

Blimey! What a shot (love the camera in the background! There will be a mirror shot somewhere!). I’ve had a barn owl on my head, or rather on the large headband I was wearing, but there must be some weight to a hawk!
