Back in the Swing of Things
Goliath flew like he was on fire at 90.2 grams. We had a few great off-the-fist chases at sparrows in hedge rows before he nailed this starling in a hospital parking lot:
Now that man week is over, it's time to slay some starlings!
First of all, you are looking so fit and trim and handsome! Cool. Not that that isn't a normal thing for you, just wanted to make a shout out.
Secondly, these stories of your elk hunt are so cool. Even though I still see you as a "POWDER" type man, I'm totally impressed that you nailed that elk. Wow. I couldn't do that.
And third, your pictures are gorgeous. So cool. Thanks for sharing!
"The reward that comes from practicing falconry is, and has to be, a feeling of your own personal satisfaction; that, and that alone. Chances are no one else will be around when your hawk is at her best. Falconry is a tedious, time consuming effort with long periods of stress and anxiety punctuated by heartbeats of gut-wrenching visceral satisfaction so intense that is impossible to put into words."
