Terrance,

What are typical weights for New Mexico females. If there is such a thing as typical. Maybe Paul,Tanner, Pete and other New Mexico folks will add what they know about weights.
When I took eyass females in California they flew around 27-28 ounces. Same for one here in Oregon. But I have also seen very small ones here flown at 25 ounce flying weight. These small ones were really small in looks. Those weights were not from under fed or developed falcons. So many other birds I have seen I thought should fly at larger weights and were under fed and under developed.
I can't tell from your birds stage of development just where she falls in weight/size. Can you show me the hood you are using..can't tell from the photo you have posted.
