A lost bird is a falconer's worst day, and telemetry is the insurance — a tiny radio transmitter on the bird's leg or tail and a directional receiver that lets you track it for miles. A pair of transmitters (one on, one charging), a directional Yagi antenna, and a receiver, plus a field first-aid kit for the bird. When the bird is out of sight, the beep tells you where to look.

FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Why telemetry?
A falconry bird can be out of sight for minutes or miles — a thermal carried it up, a squirrel drew it into the next woodlot. The transmitter beeps a radio signal the receiver directionalizes, so you can track the bird even when you cannot see it. It is the single piece of gear that prevents a lost bird, the sport's heartbreak.
Leg mount or tail mount?
Tail-mount (clipped to a tail feather) is common — it falls off naturally at molt, no harness. Leg-mount is permanent but adds a bit of weight to the leg. Both work; tail-mount is the modern preference for its clean release. The transmitter is tiny (a few grams) so it does not burden the bird.
How far can you track?
Line of sight, several miles with a good Yagi and elevation; less in heavy woods or terrain. You drive or hike to regain line of sight and follow the signal's strength. The skill is reading the signal strength and direction; the gear gets you close, the reading finds the bird.
Why a bird first-aid kit?
A hunting bird takes real risks — a talon puncture, a broken feather, a beak chip. A falconer's first-aid kit (styptic, vet wrap, a broken-feather imping kit) treats the bird in the field. Knowing a bird vet is also essential. The bird's welfare is the falconer's first responsibility, always.
