Last years birds

Here is a nice dark phase RT I trapped along a country road. The sharpie was caught in a Swedish Gos trap

The RT looks really huge but the female I have now weighs more.

Thanks for the pics Randy. Did the rt get intermewed - what does the tail look like now.

And of course I'll ask - how did the sharpie work out?

I released the RT after the season and the sharpie shortly after capture. I would have liked to kept the sharpie but didnt want to deal with 2 new birds at once. It was a toss up on which to keep. The RT did have a REAL long tail though
