Windy Hunt

From a group text :

I took Farrah out this morning to old stomping grounds, SE of Igloo plant. Windy. She chased sparrows but is in the mode of pursue, pitch up and hover. Meanwhile the sparrow has gotten to the phone booth and is gone,  back with Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo.  When Dart began chasing cotton rats he did a similar thing. He'd pursue, pitch up and flutter to ground. Then he would try to excavate the rat out of hole. It took him a while to slam them. Farrah will be a sparrow hawk by season's end, even though she has yet to catch even one. Getting her weight down is tough and she's hog fat,  like normal molting weight. I'll get serious now. She chased a rabbit today too. The good thing about chasing sparrows with Farrah and Dart is you can walk a normal pace. Cisco will only catch them when you creep along really slowly. But when he's in his groove I have yet to see a more efficient sparrow catcher. He caught seven or eight one outing. I've always called it seven because the eighth I couldn't ID.
