Ladyhawker - On Sabbatical

I am a Woman Falconer! Falconry is a part of my life and personality. In no way however should anyone construe my life and writings to be the example of all falconers. This blog is about my experiences, and it includes my personal life as well. For now, I am in school and cannot practice this sport, so there is not much falconry related stuff to write about. I will fly a bird again . . . Some Day!

Valentine's Day Squirrel

After work today, I took Nina over to the patch of woods outside of New Lisbon. Usually lots of bunnies there. But we didn't see any today. Although that is usually when there is snow on the ground. But there are squirrel preferred trees. I saw her fly suddenly away several times. The last time I saw her go down, but didn't hear any noises, so didn't hurry over too quickly. But, by the time I got near, I saw her struggling on the ground. I went over and found her gripped tight to the head of a fairly small gray squirrel. I helped her out with her prize, then traded her off to the lure. I then decided to give her an extra special treat for Valentine's Day . . . . and let her have a fresh heart (and lungs and liver).

OK . . . I know . . . . GROSS!! But she liked her Valentine's present! Which is more than I got. But . . . . I guess I don't really want squirrel innards as a Valentine's present!!

So I'm proud of my sassy footy girl. Sometimes, she's very annoying. But on some days . . . . she is my sweetheart!
