He's finally done it! Two and a half years in the making.....this Gyr finally hit a duck while stooping. He's caught some ducks, but he has always put in a huge stoop, leveled off and overran them or flew them down. Today it finally clicked that making contact in the stoop in advantageous. It was a heck of a hit too. The duck landed on its back, legs straight up in the air, and never moved. This was also the first time that he caught a duck in back to back days. All this just in time for his season to be winding down. I'll be putting Mongo in the mews this weekend and feeding him up. The next two months I have a lot of travel to do for work and there just will not be the time to fly two birds. I will be keeping the Hybrid going with the hopes of getting away for a chicken flight or two. It may not seem like much but this is a major accomplishment for this bird and a long time coming.
