Redhawk Caldera you can make me whole again

Eljay was glad when they found some feathers and tracks on the ground. He sniffed the feathers and finally managed to grasp a trail, then moving on to follow it. It was faint, but enough to give them a direction and luckily soon they came across another feather and more tracks, confirming his thoughts. Shrike then suggested they stop when they were 'close enough' (whoever knew how close or far that was?) and both jump at it.

Eljay shifted his weight and nodded nervously at that. He didn't hunt bird often, because it was so darn hard to catch, but he decided not to tell that to Shrike, in case he would look stupid. It seemed too late to admit he had no idea what he was doing, anyway. Eljay just continued to go forward, mimicking Shrike's sneaking position. Occasionally he'd startle from a sudden sound or stepping on a rustling leaf, but then the bird got into view.

Eljay glanced at Shrike and started to go left, hoping Shrike'd go right so they could approach it from different angles. That's what he meant, right?
