Passage Gyr/saker
She "flew" from New York to Minnesota, doesnt that make her a passage bird? Ok, probably not, but here she is:
15 days old and home 15 minutes. And look at that pretty face!
Her name is Nyla (inuit for tastes like chicken) not really, it means The Smiling One.

Thanks, she is wearing her supper, but managed to get some in her crop also.Originally Posted by Falcon Boy
As for a log. No Sir! Your doing great! Well...actually I broke out the Canon HX and am going to film the whole thing. If all turns out I will take it from the first day, lure training,kite training, and finish off with a stoop on wild game that makes all gyr/sakers hang their heads in shame, OR NOT. In which case I will through it away! [smilie=dontknow.gif]

Ya, I feel like a kid in a candy store! I told my wife that since I got a new falocn I HAD to have a new puppy. I tried blaming that one on Noah too. [smilie=smileys13.gif] But my wife didnt fall for it. So she decided it was her turn for a new puppy. I relunctently(sp) agreed. She decided on a Brittany.

I hope your wife enjoys "her" Brittany pup. I've seen some that made me think I should get one for my wife too. Might be a good anniversary present or something.
I have a question. What does a Gyr/Saker fly like? Is there another bird that it can be compared to so that I can get an idea? I've seen male and female Gyr, Gyr/Peregrine and Gyr/Barbary fly, and I flew a female Saker to the lure for a few months at work, but I've never seen a Gyr/Saker fly.
Dave
Dave, I dont know yet what a gyr/saker flys like. This is my first one. But I will let you know. It wont be all that long either. She is growing like a weed! I'll get a picure up tonight,maybe. Me and "that" camera dont always see eye to eye. Or I would post more pic's for sure. But as it is, its pure old luck when I get them to post! ! [smilie=eusa_pray.gif]
All that EATING is hard work! Made the baby girl..Tired! [smilie=eusa_boohoo.gif]

Very cute Bill. Welcome to the jungle!
Thanks,
Wes
Wes, Its kind of funny how mine, yours and Noah's bird all look alike for awhile. And then one day, almost over night they each go their seperate way.(looks wise). [smilie=dontknow.gif]

Yes, they do start out so similiar. Even out to 21 days. After that, the change is fast!
Thanks,
Wes
Chris,
You "put" her in the imprint section! What were you thinking? Now she will know she is an imprint and start making noise,avoiding the hood,etc. [smilie=smileys13.gif] [smilie=eusa_think.gif]
Or maybe not. Check your PM's please
Admin
LOL, I know if she starts screaming I will take the fall for sure [smilie=icon_pidu.gif] . I had to let her know she was adopted.. sorry Bill [smilie=smileys13.gif]

She sounds like she must be defective, Bill.

You would have to keep a small herd of cattle, she eats...alot! [smilie=banana.gif]
There are cows across the street, and a small herd of buffaloes just up the road........ I think I could rustle up something for her to eat [smilie=icon_thumright.gif]

Noah, do you remember me telling you she is supposed to be"light to white", I guess we can throw that silly notion out the window!
