After releasing my female passage coops and waiting to see if the little hybrid falcon will recover fully or not, I decided to pull another coops to imprint. There is just something about those little guys I really like. I am still looking for the local sharpie nest, but that will be for down the road.

Today I pulled a ~3 day old coops. I am hoping for a tiercel, but at this age it is a crap shoot. I chose the one with the thinner legs. The plan is to imprint him with full food association (via the help of some experienced falconers) using operant conditioning methods and tame hack him.

Here are pics from the day...
