Sancha	JJ	soaring up the hill for a good spot	she took off right when I snapped this shot...
Kate, aka "The Hammer"	well come on, flush us some jacks	where are those rabbits?	so elegant in flight
AND THEY'RE OFF!	you have to get there fast as the jacks CAN injure the birds	the trick is to get the birds to WANT to give up the prey	and as you can see, they want the rabbit!
JJ watching. only the birds making the kill get to eat...	Kate swallowing the last of her cowbird reward	coming in for a landing	JJ with his cowbird reward
precarious perch	Kate	Murderers row... lol	ready to hunt some more
they can perch on the smallest twigs	they fly from bush to bush following you	Pack hunt	four of the 5 after him
they made several strikes, but he keeps getting away!	Hard strike!	He gets away again!	we thought he was gone...
but here comes Kate The Hammer...	DONE!	short rest	Sancha ready to strike... this is her first catch!
she strikes, and they tumble several times...	tumble...	she strikes, and they tumble several times...	JJ coming in to help
you can see the jack kicking her in the face. birds can get injured... you have to get to them ASAP...	Sancha wins, but he is far from dead...	MINE!	Kate & Hawkzilla
Kate sneeking in to try for a share	JJ really got into his food!	waiting patiently	Sancha finally gives up her prey, for a leg tidbit
