Okie caught another rabbit yesterday. There was so much cover between me and her that I was only able to see her begin to fly on it. I had to find her with telemetry and by the time I did, she had killed it and was munching away. I never thought I would get excited about a hawk catching a CT, but, when you bust your ass day after day just trying to find one, and the hawk is successful, excitement becomes relative. I’m flying her at 38 ½ ounces, which is a half an ounce over her baseline weight, and she is still responsive, and obviously hunting, which is a good thing. Kate opened her leg up in the field on something sharp, so off to the vet for stitches today. It’s a jungle out there!
