My Deepest Sympathy!!!!
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to my friend, Sharon. This week through a most unfortunate situation she lost her beautiful goshawk, Stains. I know you are mourning deeply this loss, my friend! I'm sending you White Light!
Sometimes, it is easy for us to forget that these exquisite creatures we are so very privileged to work with and fly are terribly fragile. It is hard for us to recognize this sometimes, as we hunt them, and they are murder on wings to so many creatures. Yet, all too simply they can be damaged, and no amount of our care, our concern, our terribly careful housing and husbandry will do one whit of good. I deeply trust Sharon's ability to care for a raptor (among other animals . . . as she is a veterinarian). She is a falconer to her core, bringing her birds to perfect feather through the molt, and seeing them through sickness, and flying them to top form. Unfortunately though she has had her share of misfortunes.
If I could be there my friend, I would be! No words can console! This I know, having lost two of my own birds. Cry the tears. Love her and miss her!
Never forget the opportunity, the time, and the hunts you shared!

Thank you for your words and your light, my friend. I am very slowly dealing with the loss, but it is still very difficult to bear. I need to catch up on your blog and update my own, as soon as I am able to concentrate long enough.
