Deployed one Bald Eagle JacKite at the very south end of the field. Then moved 4 JK's north, away from the Eagle. This to make it look like the hawks gave this eagle some space. Also did some maintenance on a couple JK's All this took 45 minutes. Here's a couple pictures. Video to follow in subsequent posting.




The Bald Eagle JK has great flight and movement. Wings beat slower, looks very realistic. Depending on wind speed, it rises and falls in elevation that is dramatic, at times flying higher than the 31' fiberglass pole it is attached to.

Observed 7 robins, 4 finches, no Starlings.

Several times today, observed the Rough-legged pair on telephone poles 1/4 mile direct west of field.

REMEMBER: The villain is the Starling. It is not the grower.
