There is a most wonderful film called "Ladyhawke"; for those who have
not seen it, I'll provide no spoilers, but I do strongly recommend it.

I think that it gives nothing away, however, to note that the film does
indeed deal with a particular hawk.  For those who have seen the film
and who are well-versed in hawk-spotting, I wish to ask the following:

How many different species were employed to play the part of the hawk?

Now, I believe it also gives nothing away to note that the hawk in 
question is a redtailed hawk...MOST of the time!  There were a number
of stand-ins that I noticed, these being a peregrine falcon and, in
one scene which must be viewed frame-by-frame, what appears to be a
stuffed and mounted broadwinged hawk.

Has anyone spotted any others?  Please answer by email, so as not to
risk spoiling the plot (or the search) for other folks.
