I want to blame the weather for this excruciatingly slow molt. The falcons are eating so much they are leaving food behind, but the feathers are dropping slowly. They both are only six feathers in on the train. Boooo!
It hasn’t felt much like summer either, these chilly nights and cool days. I know I shouldn’t complain. The rest of the country is roasting.
Then again, maybe it’s not the weather. I’ve also moved the falcons to a new location right as the molt got going. So, I suppose it’s really me that is to blame, just as I’m always to blame when the falconry goes badly.
I just hate the idea that I’m going to have another slow start. I might not wait for all the feathers to come in this year… I just might not have the patience.
I have a spare gun, in case you’d like to hunt ducks the “normal” way…
Holly, why am I certain this is an inevitable adventure…?
He may be “scruffy”, but, oh what a beautiful face! And obviously in top health, look at those big bright yellow feet!
