Right Flyer - Excellent line and recovery

Left Flyer - Hawk went around the end of the pond and entered the area of the fall behind the blind, then quickly moves to his flyer hen.

Island Bird - He went left of the point which put his line wide left, but Hawk adjusted himself as he came to the last piece of water where he swam to his bird.

Long Retired - He went left of the hay bale that s at the base of the hill where the line is. He continues to fade left and is handled to his bird.
