with all this great weather (5 degrees) I couldn't stay in the house a second longer so Banks and I headed to the hills to do some training. Once I arrived in the area I was looking to spend some time I noticed a group of birds on the hill side. I left banks in the truck and I decided to put the sneak on em' in hopes of busting some of them before they busted me. Up the mountain I go slipping and sliding on the snow covered rocks and some how they saw me... but I managed to bust two birds out of the group.
One flapped its way down to the road so I let banks out of the truck to see what he would do since this was the first time he has retrieved a live bird and boy was he amp'd. I lined him up and sent him on the retrieve. The bird was flapping its wings and banks didn't know what to think about it but after a couple toot toots on the whistle he picked up the bird and delivered it back with a nice gentle grip.
I guess he felt like posing for the camera...
