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!

Let's Go Hawkin!!!!

We were not in the city of Albuquerque for a half hour and already we coordinated to meet up with Sharon, and fly the bird. Nina seemed a bit put off by the whole affair. After all, she had ridden in a box for three days, and slept in a strange mews the night before. And where the heck had all the snow and trees gone?? And what is all that brown prickly stuff? Mostly, she moved from house to house, and made no attempt at the cottontail I flushed twice for her, or the single jack Sharon flushed. At the time of this typing, she is out in a weathering yard, and will be taken up within an hour, and we will try again. I flew with Sharon at her lunch with her little tiercel Harris Hawk, Oscar. Nice little guy, but he didn't do much with the bunnies we flushed either. This is very late season, and the odds of success are stacked against me . . . . but I'm glad I came, and we are having a good time.
Also . . . . it is 65 degrees outside! :-D
