It’s that time of the year again. Baby hawks abound.
This one, obviously has just recently fledged and is figuring out where to get a real meal in NYC. Makes you wonder what mom was bringing back to the nest. Read the whole thing here. (Nice try buddy.)
My mom is now living in my house in [...]
Since I was in Salt Lake City on business, I couldn’t resist popping in to Marshall Radio Telemetry to check out how telemetry is manufactured. (Plus I had heard the Robert Bagley is an excellent host.) It was definitely worth my while.
Marshall still has the feel of a garage-based operation, small enough and friendly enough [...]
I received a comment on my First Trapped post from an individual who was absolutely horrified by the idea and the means of trapping. I deleted it because it has already been proven here that there are many who would comment without civility and I didn’t want this person to get flamed. I thought the [...]
Don’t wait until your thirty-four to get your first dog. You’ll do this because you’re waiting until you live in the right place, have enough resources, can make the time and carry fewer distractions. These are the things that you will say when you have run out of excuses to be kind to yourself. You [...]
It was daybreak and only two hours before I needed to be at work. I had rolled out of bed at some ungodly hour and even after coffee, falcon weighing and truck loading, hadn’t really woken up until I arrived in the field. I was standing outside of my truck at Whitewater, that strange duck [...]
There was a time when the peregrine falcon was considered a natural resource and a beloved partner to falconers. We trapped young birds on the beach during their first migration, flew them and hunted with them for a season, releasing them to return on the migration, just as wild as before. I have been told that there is nothing [...]
I think this is a really nicely edited video and think it’s awesome that the Judge has had an opportunity to embrace something in his life that he has always wanted to do. That said, here comes the snarking…
Why do so many falconers feel the need to pet their hawks? Yeah, okay, that’s a me [...]
Where all you all? Where are the leaders who should be building a young inspired internet tribe of water warriors in North America? I’m listening and I’m not hearing you. If you don’t step up now it will be over soon.
A few of my adventures this season were on big water. Not successful adventures, mind you, but adventures just the same. I had the pleasure of being invited to a few clubs to hunt on “off” days and accepted knowing my chances of success would likely be slim. Still I’m happy to give folks a [...]
I wanted to make this last post on my birthday…on Groundhog’s Day (Check Patrick’s Site for reasons why this is a good day for endings and beginnings) but I guess there’s something about wrapping up that makes me hesitate. I hate it when good things end, even good things that had heartbreaking moments. (Jolie?) It isn’t [...]
