wc hunt - Oct 17

11 am
Rob's farm
14 C sunny, failry dry, some breeze (there was frost in the morning)

Found 5 wc, Liza bumped the same bird 3 times I think.
She had another couple finds, all bumps

Ivy had 2 points. It's amazing how she doesn't go far or fast, but still finds birds.
This time she pointed a bird close to me, in the area where Luza was running for a while before.
Ivy pointed and I shot the bird. Luna found it, Liza is always trying to steal from her.
Luna delivered to hand and I let Liza pick up the bird too.

The second Ivy's point was close to the fence and she was standing while Liza was repeatedly bumping another wc. So I heard GPS point beep and found Ivy. She started moving slowly when I approached, she followed up very nicely on obviously running wc. Finally the bird flushed.
BTW, I think Liza was backing Ivy, at least some of the time. May be she flushed the bird, I am not sure. The wc instantly disappeared behind some green bush, I fired, Ivy jumped the rail fence and searched for the bird, but found nothing. I guess I missed.

So about 5 contacts and one in the bag.
Liza is searching well and she finds birds, but the point is yet to come.
