Handle - 13. FC-AFC DOC'S MESA BOOGIE, "Mesa" LF, Jim Smith

Mesa and Jim came to the line at 7:53 am.

Flyer - Straight to her bird.

Middle - Mesa went out right of the hay bales and into the pond. She cut left to the fall area, making one loop she got her bird.

Left - She got through the bales and into the pond. Going left and right she got back out of the pond on the entry side. Getting confused, she had to be handled to get her bird.

Came to the line at 10:18 am.

Water - First whistle to get the angle to cross the road. The second came on top of the road that carried Mesa into the pond and almost to the levee. One more whistle will take her to the bird. A quick check at the end.

Land - First whistle was to the left of the first bale of hay. This carried her to the bird. Another quick check down and she got her bird.
