Hunting with Harris Hawks round 2

Last week I was able to go on another hunt with Chris Davis and one of his clients, Randy Bates.

While it was raining hard in Boston, the weather in Amherst was perfect.

The birds are eager to get out of the van and move their wings.

Randy had his first close encounter.

Hunting with the hawks is sort of a waiting game.

Much of the time is spent walking through the woods keeping an eye out for squirrels or rabbits.

The hawks are very persistent.

There is a squirrel in to this hole,  and the hawk waits patiently for it to come out.

Thanks again Chris and Randy.

Although there weren’t any  kills, its always a good time running through the woods with the birds.
