It seemed as though his Clanmates were having success here as well. Not known for it's hunting, though Tawnybird wasn't about to complain over the blessings they had received. A squirrel, a bird, and a mouse from the looks of Yarrowshade and Dogbark's catches. A good start to their pile, but he knew that if the two were anything like him they wouldn't be satisfied with just that.

That, and Dogbark had ordered two kills each.

Scenting the air once more, Tawnybird caught wind of a rather musty scent, nose twitching as he slid into a crouch. He was positive their scuffling had revealed their location to most of the other prey around, so whatever this was must've been brave.

Paws slid with ease in a hushed manner across the ground as Tawnybird stretched his neck out just in time to see a squirrel dart behind a tree. Another one to add to his collection? The tiniest of smiles laced his face as he heard the pitter patter of paws starting to climb. Scurrying up the tree - a skill that the small, lithe warrior was an expert in.

He closed in on the base of the trunk, latching his claws onto the bark and flinging himself up the tree with starling speed. The squirrel had spotted him, and despite it's head start Tawnybird had spent too much time in the trees during his life time to be an easy weapon to shake.

Bunching his muscles, the black and orange warrior leaped backwards, twisting midair and snagging the hind quarters of the squirrel just barely before plummeting back towards the earth. He landed hard on his paws, a slight pain shooting him his leg - but the squirrel lay dead as his other claw trapped it.

"Not fast enough," he chuckled to the dead prey, nodding briefly before adding it to his collection and bringing both catches back over to where Dogbark and Yarrowshade were.
