I took some much-needed time off over Thanksgiving week—the occasion was the North American Falconers' Association field meet in Kearney, but as with the last time NAFA was in Nebraska, I actually split my time between Kearney and more familiar fields close to Lincoln. Still, it was good to focus on hawking for an entire week.
Stekoa did well, taking a couple of cottontails in addition to a mouse and, a first for us, a wood rat (a.k.a. pack rat). And the dogs clearly loved the combination of time afield and luxurious accommodations.
Some photos by Jessa by way of illustration:

Maxine in the field, attentive as ever. Not to me, necessarily, but to the possibility that Stekoa might drop something edible.

The lap of luxury: Anya settles for a towel on the washroom floor, while Maxie considers ringing room service for more pillows.
