North Yorkshire #1--First Day

My first day went great. I started by pulling legs off chickens, and ended by flying a harris hawk in the Arboredium(?). I've learned how to hold the bird, and where to put the jesses to hold onto it. I've also learned the falconers know which is used to tie the tether to the perches. It is made to be tied and untied one-handed.


Yeah, so my real reason for writing this letter has to do with the book The Sword in the Stone. You know where Merlin talks about how predators make the sound of their prey? Well theres this little owl called Sage (you saw him in the demonstration) who sounds just like a cat. He's only about the size of my stuffed owl, though, so what does the sound mean?
