All too quickly the falconry season comes to an end. It pretty much ended for me late in January. The month of February was just so cold, and with work commitments, and my aversion to going out into single digit temperatures I did not get to fly Seneca much more. She's a good bird, and I plan to intermew her, and fly another season with her. I should set up her lights and push the start of the molt so we can hit the ground running as soon as the small game season opens in September.
This was the last bunny we caught, in my favorite location in Byron. This location is a good one, but seems to be accumulating barriers to using it much. I'll just have to judge it each season, and hope to not have any more run-ins with locals. Seneca definitely knows what rabbits are. She has not shown any knowledge or desire for squirrels. Maybe she just has not encountered them. I tried, but didn't give her many good opportunities. Perhaps next year.
