Pigeonsun's ears swiveled this way and that, the tip of his feathery tail twitching as he adjusted and readjusted on his paws, shifting the weight from one to the other. It was cold. The sun wasn't up yet, and the sky was still dark, but the SkyClan hunting patrol had left some time ago. There's no best time for prey, I suppose, the young warrior thought to himself, turning to look over his shoulder at the patrol that was catching up to him. He'd run a bit ahead, just to get the heart pumping, some warm blood circulating into his cold limbs, and now as they pulled up behind him, he let a long, slow breath out into the air, watching it frost in front of him.

He was looking forward to his first real Leafbare, and that needed to start with a healthy, well-fed clan. Pigeonsun would do his best. "I'm going to go this way," he called out to them, and then split off, taking a running start to scale the nearest tree. He made it up and then darted along the branches, slipping from one tree to the other and moving quickly towards a patch of heavily forested area. There, he paused, catching his breath, and setting his sights on a pair of starlings perched on a branch in the next tree over. They didn't see him. Good. Crouching, and making the right adjustments as he'd just been practicing, Pigeonsun calculated, eyes narrowing, and then leapt.

He landed with one of the birds square between his paws, and it didn't even get the opportunity to struggle before it was dead.

Pigeonsun caught a starling.

Dawnfeather’s ears pricked at Pigeonsun’s call and nodded, although he probably didn’t see it. Thank the stars the sun would rise soon. It was cold. And she was having trouble not tripping over her own paws, good thing it was dark! Although, of course, if it wasn’t dark, she wouldn’t have been tripping… hmm. A conundrum.

A rustling nearby attracted her attention, and she slunk towards it, slipping into a hunting crouch seamlessly. It rustled again… she silently prowled closer… then…

A snap broke the silence, seemingly as loud as a monster on the Thunderpath. Dawnfeather glanced down- there, beneath her paw, a dry twig. If only she didn’t have such terrible night vision-

Something cannoned into her chest, something furry and with powerful legs and brown and white and- sprawled on the ground, she blearily saw the hare speed away- a big one, with an odd pattern. She’d remember that- ouch- they did have powerful hind legs.

Dawnfeather attempted to catch a hare. Catch was unsuccessful.
