Sparrow Traps スズメのわな

Just to feel like I've got some connection to the falconry world I've been making some equipment. I'm trying out some designs for sparrow traps that I've seen around and since sparrows and starling are legal to trap year round with or without residency I can make sure my designs will provide some food once I finally do get a bird.

何とかの方法で鷹狩とのつながりがあるようにしょうとしています。今週スズメのわなを沢山作った。それぞれのディザインを試して，鷹が持っているときに餌はちゃんと手に入れられるようにする。スズメが入ってくれるかな？

The spiral trap on the left was posted on the kestrelfans yahoo group by Matt Mullenix, the multi-chamber may have been too. The drop in trap is kind of a variation on one that a lot of people say is effective but we'll just have to see if my design quirks work or not.

So far the only one that's proven itself is the multi-chamber. I caught a sparrow and an oriole type bird (which I didn't even think could fit in the trap!). Both birds were released unharmed, but in two weeks the Colorado Hawking Club is having a field meet and I'm hoping to tag along with some people trapping to see if the sparrow harnesses I've been making work. The next sparrows will have some work to do!

今まで間中のわなしかスズメを捕れていないけどまだまだ秋だから餌がいっぱいでわなに入れなくても食べれる。でも今朝山の方で雪が降ったみたいので近い内に後の二つを本気で試してみます。
