I forgot to post this earlier and though y'all would appreciate this.

Here is my friends merlin Lucy. She is a 2xintermewed bird and was pretty awesome this year. When I was out in west Texas this year I asked Paul if she ever went after the quail out there. He said she has dipped a wing at them a few times. Well we aquired and quail and just for shit and grins released it in front of her. She hit and bound to it in a instant. Here are a few pictures he sent me after I left and he got her going. From thentill the end of the season she caught like 15birds(not bad in 2months). This is a 160-170 gram bird nailing birds that weigh the same as she does. He was thinkng about releasing her this season but I think that has changed now.lol!
