Doubled on sparrows again today. A lot of the leaves are completely gone from small trees and some of the low bushes. Now when a sparrow dives for cover, she can still see it and follows it in, using her wings to pull, push and plow her way through cover along the ground. It works about half the time and I find her on a kill. It's starting to take a toll on her primaries, you can see in the pic after her first kill today.

The leaves are falling fast from the big trees also, and again we saw coopers around us and flying high overhead once. I will be putting her up for moult probably next weekend.
Most of her flights are within 40 feet but occasionally she keeps going or ends up around a corner of a brush line and it seems like Russian roulette that one of these times she will be chased or grabbed by a wild raptor. It's been an awesome season with this little rocket.
