Finally! The Ladyhawker has something hawk-related to blog about! Above is "Sage" a passage Prairie Falcon that Phil acquired from another falconer recently. He'll be learning how to fly a longwing this fall.
On Saturday July 12 there was a picnic for the tri-state falconry clubs between Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. The weather was beautiful! So much so that I think a lot of folks were off doing other things, for there were not as many people attending as perhaps were hoped for. However, gas is expensive, so maybe the drive was too far for many folks. If it had not been for Phil above, and Dianne who brought her education eagle, it would have been an all-goshawk day. Three falconers brought their imprint goshawks to show off.
Look at those beautiful eyes! All three goses were still young enough that their true wild nature has not yet manifested. Good luck to those falconers that will be continuing to work with them and get them chasing game very soon.
Dan Orth brought "Daisy".
