Trapped PMRT

Yesterday I trapped my third Red Tail a nice little Passage Male that I named Wolf. He is a Dark morph bird and very fierce. His keel was solid muscle and he stood on the fist almost immediately.

His trap weight was 840 grams with equipment.

His weight this morning was 812 grams with equipment.

I'll try to keep everyone updated on our progress!

   wow, that is the darkest RT I have ever seen, when he is more manned be sure to get us some close ups! I know you were wanting a female but I hope that your experience with this guy is as fun as ours is with Billy. Let me know when you start looking for cottontails, we can get some weekend hawking parties going, the more to beat the bush with the better . . .

   Fabulous. All that hard and fast experience in Arizona is finally going to go to practical application! He is Beautiful, but aren't they all! Can't wait to see more pics. Cheryl (aka: Mom)

   That is a great catch. I look forward to more pictures and updates as the training process goes along. I can't wait to do this myself some day, and it is really awesome to read about what I potentially could be doing in the near future. Hope the training goes well.

   I'm good Shawn, how are you? I've been following your blog and as always you seem to be traveling a lot more than me. Where did you land these days?
