Weighing between 1380g and 1450g.
A few primaries to go yet.
The last of her train needs to finish coming down.
A few more weeks and I'll fix her up with new anklets, tail mount and start conditioning her.

Fred,

Good looking RT. Is that her moult weight ?
What she fly at last year ?

On another note ...

Is that your weathering yard ? How big is it ?
Do you tether her in the yard or free loft ?

Thanks!

Brent,

We finished last season at about 1250g - 1270g hunting weight.

She is freelofted. The weathering is 8 x 8 attached to an 8 x8 mew with a 5 ft. door way which she can fly back and forth through.

Here's an old photo before I added the lattice.
