  • Today I thought I'd give you all a taste of my quiet life with the birds, as well as my first hunting trip out of this season, with Venom my 20 year old Harris hawk.
    There are scenes of hunting (though not gory in any way for those on the gentle side).
    Please watch, and experience the gentle quiet of falconry with me.

    She effortlessly works her bird, works the dogs, carries the world's luckiest baby and makes a video, all at the same time. Beautifully amazing

      I was one of those kids...
      I grew up in Southern Ct.
      Old growth hardwood forests,
      and a boat on the sound.
      Some people would call that
      Privilage. But, I lucked out.
      Thanks Mom, Thanks Dad.

    I have never seen anyone suited up and trekking through marsh, carrying a six month old baby, a bird of prey, the required gear, a selfie stick, navigating fences and gates, while providing commentary. You are an absolute boss.

    Thanks Amy. Alfie is adorable. It's so nice to see how easy it is for you to be active with the birds with Alfie in tow...and it is very relaxing to get a glimpse of life in that environment. It's great to see dogs doing real dog stuff. No leashes, fences, bad behavior or endless boredom.

    I love hearing about the peregrine falcons. I live near Rochester, NY, and there used to be a pair of peregrine falcons who nested in Kodak Tower every year. They used to have something called the falcon cam on the pair. Not sure if they are still there, but the pair came back year after year to raise their young. It was really neat.

    I live on the edge of one of California's many deserts that small Mobile home/ Recreational vehicle parks populate the landscape. Well this morning on my bike ride around in the park ( 285 unit size ) a hawk had grabbed a bit of breakfast in the middle of the street. I first saw the victims feathers all about then noticed as I got closer the hawk sitting on top of a dove. So I stopped a good 10 meters away to watch and old hawk wanted no witnesses so grabbed it's breakfast an flew off. Not many Raptors out here as this was the first one I've seen.
