and it gets hotter

Trapping season in oklahoma started today and for the first time in 2 years i'm glad i'm not in a rush to go out and trap a Redtail Hawk.The forcast for this week is 107f all week. Shiloh has been suffering with the heat even with the weathering area shaded off he has been over heating and panting trying to stay cool.

I decided to rig up a mister after talking to a number of falconers. I got it going on saturday and then monitored it all weeknd to make sure the hose didnt get hot and resultinging in him getting scoolded. I placed two purches in the wethering area and extended his leash so that he can jump between the two. One is directly underneath the mister and one is about 3 feet from it. So far it seems to have made a hugh difference.
