                                         Trapping Trip to Freer Texas October 2008

                                          The trap weight on this tiercel was 425 grams "fat"

 Josh's  Harris is doing great on squirrels already          Odd place to find a Zebra, but Texas has it all.

                                                David trapped a very nice immature female                

Dave and I taking another bird off the trap                       This was a tiercel that Dave is releasing

 The all important weigh-in. We left Texas with 2 females and one tiercel.  A great place to trap.
