Got the day kicked off around 7:30 this morning, and Dee Dee weighed in at 1039 grams. Headed back over to Jeff's house, and the four of us loaded up in his car, and we went and did a little car hawking. He trapped his little girl early on this season, and is already racking up a pretty nice head count. He said she was a little bit high this morning, but I knew we would still have a good show. Headed down toward the shopping district, and there where quite a few starlings out and about. The trouble was, that most of them where either not in a slippable situation, located on concrete, or up on wires. Drove around for a good minute before we found our first slip, and she bailed out the car window pumping hard! She smashed the starling on the ground, and we where at 1 slip, 1 catch.
Drove around for another bit, but just didn't manage to find any slips. Got one more before we called it quites that was pretty neat....it was on a big group of starlings, and they saw her coming pretty early on. They all took off, but she kept chasing, and followed one up a good ten feet or so, before she pulled off, and landed on a pole. Decide one starling was good enough for a fat bird, so we headed back to the house, where Jeff's wife had already prepared a nice breakfast (THANKS!!!!). Grubbed down on that, and then we headed out to "Lowes" to chase some bunnies. Greg and Tasha both brought out their nice cameras, so of course, we didn't catch anything. The rabbits didn't want to come out and play, and we only managed five or six slips the whole time. She chased well, but was again, one step behind.
We started out hawkin in a new section, and it was REALLY thick, so that may have contributed to the lack of success, but she did make one notable chase, and she crashed the bushs right in front of them. Gave up after a little bit, said my good byes, and headed back home to my babies.
