Since the grower was starting his repellent efforts, I thought it time to assemble and deploy the 14 Peregrine JacKites (JK's).

So I assembled 14 JK's (took 1 1/2 hr). Setup the bamboo poles with fishing swivels and leader line (took 1 hr). Then deployed the 14 JK's around the perimeter of the field (took 1 3/4 hr).

I put more of the JK's on the western most row, since that seems to be the main entrance from 2 sets of woods 1/4 mile apart (one to the south and one to the north...my woods).

It was quite a windy day and all the JK's did well. Will come back tomorrow to see if anything will need alteration or fixing.
