Spectacular catch with tiercel Goshawk !

[Dan Paradis]

Hi me again !

This evening I went out to train my birds as usual, I decided to follow a dead ground along the field and finally ambush by surprise "without knowing it myself" a small pack of 30-40 snow geese...they lifted off in a blink.. so did my Gos from the fist to follow a retrived goose from the rest and nailed it down its arrsssss:twisted:@±40 feet up in the air :supz: I've made it quick to help him out and dispatch the goose... the power of the beating wings was frightning....but we made it.....we were both Full throttled again :twisted:

Hey Dan, I won't be going to Quebec this fall, unfortunately. The Mrs. will be going by plane alone to visit family. The bird should be arriving this weekend, if all goes as planned. Everything is ready. I bought some quail today, and they're in the freezer...that's going to take some getting used to by Madeleine...or another freezer may be in the near future. John is going to be flying his son's MHH this winter, so we'll be flying them together.:grin:

I saw this hawk this weekend while attending an apprentice falconry course by Dan at the Quebec Falconry Center, it is a beautiful bird. Saw it leave the fist in a heartbeat for a partridge i think it was.

Thanks, Dan. I might take you up on your offer of the DOC. Rob will be flying his bird down to John, but will be coming over here at Christmas by car. I may ask him to stop in on the way. We'll talk...
