Start of Fall

It's my birthday. This morning on the drive into work i saw flocks of geese flying across the morning sky. Birds where everywhere it was a good drive into work. I saw a redtail preening on a telegraph and all seemed right with the world. Temps are still in the 100s but this afternoon the cool chill of a rain storm could be felt in the air. Fall is coming.

Shiloh dropped his last tail feather. for the first time in a long time i cut some rabbit up into small chunks and had him flying across the mews for his reward. He's excitement was plain to see , I got the impression it was time to start thinking about the month a head and getting ready.

This fall is about to bring some great changes , it looks like we will be moving from south Oklahoma and heading north. Its time to move on. Upgrade to General from apprentice is also on the cards with a new bird already lined up, Shiloh is safe we have unfinished business but i want to learn more about other aspects of falconry. A long wing is on the cards in the form of a white hybrid called cowboy.In a months time a right of passage will have finished i will no longer be an apprentice but that doesn't mean i will ever stop learning.

I cant wait for this stage of things to be complete not because its time to move onto the next stage but because it will be a mile stone complete.
