![]() ![]() Great job Scarlett and Rita! Diana Morrisey even found some leftovers of a cottontail on the way out. ![]() Scarlett sat drying her wings off in a tree and then was called to a nice meal on the lure. Scarlett made 2 attempts and the squirrel made it to its scape on the ground and into cover. Scarlet followed well and coming into a small forest, we saw a squirrel moving. Last up was Rita Tulloh from New Hampshire with her 15 year old Red Tail Scarlett. The cover provided the rabbits to escape but as we pushed the line back towards the cars, a rabbit broke out under the trees and Trixie sealed her meal for the next week! Way to go Trixie and Artie! Trixie flew incredibly hard for almost 2 hours…following, crashing and repositioning with strength and stamina. Mike Meade lead the hunt and pushers worked hard to get rabbits to run. The hunting area included 40 acres of briars and brambles and kept Trixie and her pushers on their game. Way to go team!Īnother apprentice, Arthur Tzouros, and his immature red tail named Trixie went next. The humans followed intently and Circe grabbed her prey/meal spiraling to the ground. A squirrel was quickly located after and the chase started. The line of pushers moved along flushing a rabbit, which cleverly got away. Next up was falconer Jim Pendoley with his 5 year old Red Tail named Circe. Holly then had 2 slips on a rabbit and hit the ground so hard we thought she shattered her legs! WOW! A great hunt for all. The squirrel spun and got away as some fur floated to the ground. Holly had 2 quick squirrel chases and managed to catch one in the crook of a tree. Nick and Adelyn were troopers experiencing falconry for the first time.įirst up was apprentice Diana Morrisey and her immature Red Tail named Holly. ![]() Erin Shanley attended with her zoom lens camera to catch the action and camaraderie. We had 9 falconers in attendance, family members and a few new interested folks. This past Saturday Mike Meade hosted a MFHT field meet in western MA. ![]()
