I'm a 2nd year apprentice falconer in AL. I'm flying a first year red-tailed hawk at mostly rabbits, but sometimes squirrels too. He's really started to come on strong in the past couple of weeks. I think our current count is 13 bunnies and 4 squirrels.

A few photos. The poor quality ones are cell phone photos. I don't usually take my real camera out in the field.
