Log Day 37

Dee Dee is being very resistant to becoming a bird hawk. I'm not helping either, being that the only days we car hawk are ones with breaks in bad weather, with NO quality slips available. She was a little bit lower than combat weight yesterday, so I was hoping to have a really good car hawking session. Headed down 71st to the new shopping center that they built right off the high way, hoping to find a pigeon or starling eating on some rubish left in the parkin lot. No birds where to be found, so we headed across the high way to the church that has been holding a bunch of pigeons. Again, no slips. Drive around in West Tulsa for a minute, and then we hit Southwest boulevard, and cruise around by all those industrial areas. Thousands of starlings are up on the wires, but the only ones flying down to the ground where back in the tank fields behind very high, and ominous looking fences. No luck there, so we cruise down Avery drive, and try around all of those industrial areas. Again, no slips, but I found a really nice lookin rabbit spot, that I'm going to kick around this weekend during boulderfest. Cruise around for another good bit, and then we decided to head to the soft ball diamonds in the back of Chandler Park (there are ALWAYS crows back there).....of course....nothing. So if your keeping track....that's again, another car hawking session with NO slips (good thing I don't have a Kestrel right!!?!?!??). Fed her a starling, and then gave her a quail breast and leg once we got home.

  1. Dan,

    I figured our a fool proof way to get you my video... i just put it up on my personal server (DUH!).... Follow this link and youll see a list of files...

    http://www.personal.psu.edu/jam811/ROOT/FRIENDS/


    Right click (game hawking) and click save target as...

    This will start the download... its 250 MB's.

    Do you have Quick Time player? (comes with itunes).

    Also, the password to open the zip file is the falconry term used to describe when a bird of prey is in fully focused hunting mode... Let me know if you need anymore help.

  2. That's a pretty tight video! The cast flying with the hybrids was pretty sick!!!! I also liked the section with the darker RT flying jacks. Thanks for sharing!
