Looking for Broods is Fun but Tiring

Zeb went on his first Woodcock Banding trip and was fascinated watching the older setters work. He was drinking out of the puddles (and wading through) all new experiences and thrilling for him. It is hoped it will be the beginning of a long career banding Woodcock and learning the intricate ways of the dancing males, the sitting hens and elusive chicks. Big Sisters, "Jersey" and "Hilda" slammed and held their first points on Woodcock broods this Spring!

Hilda scented a young Porcupine

The setters wanted to make sure she was alright

Baby Zeb catches a quick break

Could have been worse--so relief!

Zak checks his Daughter

Looking for late Woodcock broods, Hilda encountered a young Porcupine, as most of the quills were small. Though, she got a fair amount in her jowls and a few in her gums all were relieved her mouth, eyes and nose were spared any trauma. A tough lesson for a young bird dog to learn but overall a good outcome.

Mr. Live Wire: Growing fast, on the move, all the new things to see, to learn, to accomplish. Dad is such a huge help, playing and teaching, showing Little Zeb the ins and outs of home. He learns fast and picks up what is expected of him quickly. Wonderful to see him prance and carry himself like his Dad, the little look-alike is pure delight and throwing his head up to scent the air is a joy as all comes back to Zak and the love of a beautiful friend.
