Over the month of December my friend Foxfeather had a visitor from Seattle, one of her dear friends Anna, known as Balaa. She was game to go out hawking a couple times with Seneca and me, and kick the brush for us.
On the afternoon of these pictures, I selected a place right in the heart of Rochester that I have not visited for many years. It is now an abandoned building, and the bunnies have taken over the place. We flushed so many, but Seneca was not following particulary closely, so we didn't get to see a close up show. When it came time to pack it in, and me call her down to the lure, she did not respond. I could faintly hear her bells, so followed that lead. I found her on the ground, well tucked into a bunny she caught that we did not see at all.
I let Balaa hold her, as that is something I know folks who love wild animals, especially raptors, like to do if they get a chance. I know I wanted to do just that prior to getting my first falconry bird.
THANKS BALAA!!
