This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life.

No news is good news. I haven't ventured from the yard yet, but initial inspections look good. Howling wind and rain overnight, woke me and the kids up.
Otherwise, its a cool storm. I need to go out and clean up other properties. There will be more pictures to follow.
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.
