Aww, poor David!
However, good for the bird - who has his real (ie; wild) life back.... I
hope he made it up and back okay...

Subject: Gyrfalcon tale
Once my master Falconer, VanWormer, and I were hunting ducks with a Jerkin
( male) Icelandic (pure white)Gyrfalcon on a 19,000 acre ranch in
Happy,Texas, when he caught the North Wind and started his long journey back
to Canada.
We went back to the Amarillo Airport and rented a plane and pilot to track
him with his radio telemetry to another ranch about ten miles from where we
lost him. After returning back to Amarillo, we drove to this other ranch (
40 miles - got there about midnight) and David hiked about three miles from
the road to where the radio signal was coming from only to find that the
Falcon had chewed off his transmitter and continued on his way back to the
Artic.
This was the second time David lost a bird with me ( the first was a Harris
Hawk he had for 11 years)- he cried both times....
