The Wounded Falcon
"Okay girl, let's go," you whisper to your falcon, Huntress. You emit her learned 'take-off-and-hunt' whistle, gently thrust your arm skyward, and she complies. She soars into the air and begins to circle the lake, her sharp eyes scanning the clear water for a quarry.
Your father has sent you and Huntress away to search for fish to use for tea. Your falcon is an accomplished and well-trained bird of prey. You normally use her to capture fish, rabbits, and sometimes pigeons.
Watching her from the lake edge for a couple of minutes, it appears that she has not seen a likely kill. You decide that you will direct her to a different section of the water to continue the hunt.
