Aug 4th. and the first day of free flight...Riley is called of a roof top using a lure. He still had much to learn as he just did a fly by and didn't come to the lure.
Rob decided that over the next few day's that ne would work with the bird and I would return for more flight shots.

The sad thing is that I didn't have that opportunity as Riley was found later in the month...he had been attacked by a Great Horned Owl.
It was a sad day at Parkland Mews...Rob will begin the process again next summer.
