New bird!

Trapped a female American kestrel a little over a week ago. Named it "Millenium." (Millenium, the falcon. Insert Star Wars reference here.) Naked trap weight: 140g, a big girl! Had 3 days to work with Millie before I went to a conference and my better half got to tend to her for 5 days. Got Millie to jump to the glove last night at 130g (not naked), Not too bad for a bird that really hasn't been worked with much at all due to end-of-the-semester workload. But I'm not looking to fly her anytime soon. This is mostly a spring-fall bird to fly at bugs and just let me keep a digit dipped in the falconry pool.
