I woke up absolutely possessed with the need to draw this

My current abatement team. Riley and Dani got sent to other sites so things are switching up on me. I'm going to miss my A-team because we had a really good routine going, but now I've been tasked with the responsibility of training these two youngens. On the left is Spencer, Riley's younger brother, who I've been training for a while now. I've been his sole trainer and he's doing well. He's caught one head of game so far and has a strong drive to chase pigeons. I'm just now starting to use him at job sites and seeing what he's made of. He has an adventurous side, just like his older brother, so I might have my work cut out for me keeping him focused on the job. On the right is Shiva, Spencer's twin sister. She's been getting trained by the company owner and was just transferred to me a few days ago. I flew her free for the first time with me yesterday and she did well, but she's not as used to the city yet as Spencer is, so she'll require a little more training before I start using her at all the job sites. She is more focused on the falconer rather than hunting so far, which can actually be useful. She might end up being my "hang out" bird while Spencer will hopefully be my "hard pursuit" bird.

The dog found a pheasant rooster hidden in the bushes, we flushed it towards the adjacent field, the hawks caught it and were then each given their share. Team work at its finest!
