Apologies to Buffalo Springfield and Neil Young.

Cisco's sixth this season. He acted different today. Wandered around until he got the perfect shot. He's an ounce high. Body weight 938, well more than an ounce over his theoretical 900 gram flying weight.
Cisco didn't and because my video didn't work I was spared a lawsuit from The Beatles and the readers were spared hearing my singing. Cisco is doing better it appears..... two in a row, a big deal these days. https://youtu.be/vqpEZuv29qE
Cisco came in at a hefty 920 body weight. It was cool and sunny. Early on I second guessed him after he watched a couple of squirrels before following. I was wrong. Within a minute or two Cisco had a squirrel up on the side of a tree. He neatly pulled it off and dropped straight down into a big grove of palmetto. Unfortunately, palmetto can be loud and his falconer ran in to help him. When I hit the palmetto, it sounded like a cannon going off and a squirrel was gone.. Cisco didn't want me to feel bad so he went back to hunting. It was a little slow for a few minutes but pretty soon he peeled off another one this time. This time gliding about 100 ft off instead of into the palmetto. Most of the time when I second guess Cisco I'm wrong. Arnold helped. He was pretty good today. He got a small squirrel tidbit to eat. All is good.
An uneven season to say the least. Some moderate injuries sidelined the buzzards, but all are in generally good shape. I have now safely flown Farrah and Cisco for a combined thirty seasons. BB I flew some this past season; he's now hanging out with Ismael Cano. James Major flew BB for most of this season, but Ismael will have him for most of the next year unless something changes.
