9 days into training Pat's hatch year bird put on quite a show

 Pat with a casting & Justin looking on. |
 The casting or pellet |
 The hood going on |
 Another try |
 Hooded on the bow perch |
 The hood coming off |
 A very mild reaction to the hood removal |
 Justin distracting the hawk |
 The lure with breakfast attached |
 Pat's got his attention |
 Time to go |
 From the perch to the glove |
 and we're off |
 and onto the prey |
 gone in very few bites |
 mantling the prey |
 fat & happy |
 Relaxed on the fist |
 Relaxed on the fist |
 landing on the fist |
 on the prey |
 filling it's crop |
 back to the fist after breakfast |
 with the hood before it's meal |
 transfer to the bow perch |
 it's traveling accomodations |
