Thru weight management...Pepper flies well between 1188g and 1225g. Yesterday she was at the top end. She killed something in a junkyard...an area I didn't have any access to. I spent till dark looking w/ binos...then till 8:30 p.m. w/ telemetry. Was able to find her in some palm trees...put her to bed and came back this a.m. in the dark. She'd moved to a light pole and proceeded to hunt for 45 minutes w/o coming down for my offerings of quail. FINALLY chased her down in an open field and presented a lure with a quail on it. NOPE...kept grabbing and trying to fly off. FINALLY, put a day-old-chick on my glove and she flew to that...grabbed the jesses and was only 10 min. late to work! We're still working on her table manners! That uni-boob is her crop and all she's eaten.
