Can't hunt here

So I got Gordon and did a bit of traveling and hooked up with Terrierman to catch us some groundhogs. It was the perfect day. Weather was great and the dogs knew their jobs. Patrick's dog, Mountain ,was in charge, but all the dogs had a great time.

I am spent, as I just walked in the door, but I'll write more about it later.

Who Are the Birds

Tess and Gonzo are both 5 year old Harris' Hawks.

I've had Gonzo since he was a young hawk and he came to me from Dave Mancini. He is a great bird who has been car hawked at different birds, flown from trees at squirrel and rabbit, and flown from a T-perch. He is a wonderfully efficient hunter that hunts in the 650 gram range.

Tess came to me by way of Wes Collins breeding project. She is a direct descendant of the Coulsins' famous White wing. I just acquired her for the 2008-09 hunting season. Her previous owner flew her extensively from the car at starlings, geese, and crows. She has been great at squirrels and has a ridiculously calm disposition. She flies between 900 - 950 grams.
