Continued Obesession with Snakes

I took Katana back out to our training field. She had several great flights on rabbits with no success. She is flying strong again, and I think that she is finally getting back into shape. She was standing on a rock pile when Krys flushed out a 4 ft Texas Rat snake, that she nailed. After trading her off and releasing the snake unharmed, she took a perch on a telephone pole on the other side of th field. We flushed a couple of rabbits that she ignored, and we realized why when she went down. She had nailed herself another snake, this time a 4 ft diamond back water snake. I transferred her off the snake (well, Krys did :)) and we called it a day. Both the snakes were released back into the field, and will hopefully become prey for the pair of resident red tails in the area.
