RT and SS

[tumble]

I don't think I posted these in her log. I accidentally took the photos in a lower resolution than intended as I had just started experimenting with 16:9. But oh well...I just like her expression here. This was the beginning and end of one long, challenging but beautiful hunt.

She's out in the mews with a crop full of rabbit right now and well into her moult. I'm still hoping for a goshawk this year as well. I'd like to keep the redtail around because she has been an absolute joy to hunt with and I believe I can successfully hunt her and a gos.

Nice pics thanks! Good luck with the gos...still thinking of imprinting?
Any video of the hunts?? We all love video

Our rt is dropping tail feathers now...can't wait to see the new red ones!

Hi Bill...I've got some pretty cool squirrel hunts on video but getting hare flights is a trick.

As for the gos, I've got a basic "Plan A" for whichever age I'm able to obtain. I think I would love to take a very early passager but until our regs are re-written the earliest legal passage take here would be Sept 14. So far after approx 150 hours of searching I've failed to find a nest of my own. I've been saying that I hope I'm better at training them than I am at finding them. :) But there is still a lot of May left.
