"Liberty" The female sore hawk coop trapped on 4th of July in my backyard early in the morning in my robe...haha. She's doing awesome!
Her first wild kill was a young quail several weeks ago and she is now taking pigeon, starling and cowbirds. She rides freelofted in the car on the passenger headrest and sometimes hops to my headrest for a love nibble on my ear.

Seriously though, can't wait to see what this bird pulls off!
Wow that's a beautiful bird.

This guy has been hanging around the pigeon loft and game bird pens the past few days, stupid tame, I was 20 feet from him when I took this. Rewarded him with an easy common pigeon.

Tail of the first bird I caught trapping this year. A local male about 1000 grams, named him Rob Zombie sometime in July, sporting some tail bling.

Awesome Austin! I didn't think you'd have that many pheasants down there. Can you describe the flights and setups she's successful in? Getting any bunny flights? You don't have snow? We got 6 inches Saturday. I'd like to see her fly sometime. Keep it up, Ross
Absolutely unbelievable, with a record of 14 wild pheasants this early in her career it makes her one of the most successful Ferrug's I have ever heard of. I would love to hear about how she does it and of course, I would love to see her fly sometime as well.Quote:

Then it went kinda silent and I often wondered how it was going. Now we know! Will be interesting as winter moves in as they are very cold hardy birds and the winter pheasants should motivate her big time, as they already are. Way to go.

Those are really great and clear photos. Beautiful bird.
Awesome action shot!!
Jim, you are a true artist. Man it does not get any better than that. Thanks for sharing.
Not only a great pic, but aplomado on a bunny? Too cool.
Mike
And it's not out of the norm for that Appy.Quote:

She had this bunny turning every way it could and it wasn't that close to me. I was using a 300mm lens and this picture is cropped a lot. She is fun to watch.

A video of my late catch Male RTH feeding from the fist after 4 days of training. He Also ate from the fist his 2nd day after capture but not with the confidence he had here. Way to go Quinn!
My wife's bantams have a little drink from Sonny's bath. Lucky for them he like them.
