On today's hunt I was walking between heavy cattails on my left and tall big bluestem grass on my right. Kaia was most interested in the grass. Thinking the pheasants would be in the cattails I kept sending her there. She'd dutifully make a foray into the cattails but soon run into the grass again. That's where she flushed a number of pheasants. With my attention focused on the cattails I was slow in seeing the roosters. By the time I saw them they were speeding with the wind and consequently none came home with us.
Long time hunters who use dogs are schooled to always pay attention to the dog. With their fantastic sense of smell, one estimate is 6 million times better than humans, they are to be trusted. Paying attention to her is a lesson which I relearned today.😀

This picture of Thessalonica was taken from our dinner table, and it is one of my favorite Greek cities.
