why i am a falconer
Falconry is simply, using a hawk or falcon to hunt with. Allowing the bird to do what it naturally does in nature. You are just there to observe and help. Unfortunately the hard part in today's world is finding wild and pristine places left to practice this ancient art.I choose to fly large falcons, Peregrines ,at Native Prairie grouse, and Ducks. This means wide open habitat such that is found on our north American Prairie's . But most of the habitat required for flying falcons on grouse and Ducks has been ruined by man's activities, mostly due to, to much farming ,and cattle grazing.I am not against farming or ranching, although modern industrial agricultural uses way too many chemicals ,which is harmful to us, and the environment, but the level and amount of land we impact with agriculture. It is just to much, and wrong. Only one percent of the Great Plains has been protected, only one percent of one percent of Iowa's Prairie remains, that's wrong , but nobody seems to think so.To practice the art well, I have had to move multiple times to find the few isolated ,over looked prairie left some what alone, where wildlife can still exist. These few remnants left of what once was, is as much apart of my appreciation , experience, and enjoyment, and why I continue to practice Falconry.

Peregrine and Sharp-tail Grouse

Ester my fourteen year old peregrine, fly's high anticipating I will flush a wild native prairie grouse for her. She manages to hit it hard in mid air, knocking it to the ground . But what happens so often with these incredible birds, is they still manage to fly off to safety, Falconry is the finest , fairest way to hunt, natural selection is still at play.

Female Peregrine Edie fly's thousands of ducks on large water and catches huge 56 oz. mallard. Nate Birr videographer.This video was filmed about five years ago. This area has now been ruined by massive oil development , where once there was quiet and only farming , in one stretch of two miles of road there are ten drilling pads, and all the impact they cause.

Pintails, gadwalls, swans,whooping cranes,shorebirds ,tens of thousands of snow geese, and some of whats left of the prairie,why did we not save and preserve any of the Great Plains , like we have done with other eco-systems? Is it to late? or is there still time?

The first falcon, is Ester 14 years old, next her eight year old daughter Edie, and last her four year old son pippin. Ester breeds in the spring and gets to fly and catch grouse in the fall, while her great flying son and daughter catch ducks.

falconry birds weathering, and hawking country.Beautiful prairie. This grass was actually allowed to grow and provide food and nesting cover for ducks and grouse. The farmer was payed not to farm it.This is called CRP. conservation reserve program. With high wheat prices and the government deficits, millions of acres of CRP habitat will be plowed back to black dirt, this grass was.Leaving less ...

Only when you walk in nature,understand her ways and embrace it all ,will you truely appreciate our planet ,for those who stand on the line and criticise everything they are against will never know the true beauty. Falconry 4500 years old UNESCO protected as an intangible culture is so amazing,it’s a life choice
Your thoughts and 'mind's- eye' track the thinking of many legendary conservationists who were, very often hunters and sportsman to begin with. The great Moghul emperor, and in more recent times, Aldo Leopold come to mind. Great footage and great philosophy!
Excelente !!!

Hey Kirk: I just discovered your videos...very nice! Anyway, I hope you're doing well. Watching your videos reminds me of how much I miss that part of my past...maybe I'll return someday.
I would love to own a falcon just for protection. I know I'm imagining this, but I can see that it would sit up in the trees and wait for something bad to happen to us and then come bounding out but not solely to kill animals
from which city ?
❤❤
Is she a passage?
see my falcon video czcams.com/video/5pT9X2qBl0c/video.html
If you ever want to check out a larger area with less people that may be good for your chosen hunting methods, consider Canada. Now personally I do not care for hunting, but it's hard to argue with using a bird to hunt other birds. That seems fair.
Because you enjoy seeying one animal tear another animal apart? Gotcha.
It's nature, It's what happens every day in the wild. A bond with the life cycle of our planet.
Well aware that nature comes with its misery. The falcon does it for survival though. A modern falconer does it for blood sport.
First-rate video. Peregrines are beautiful raptors and like you mentioned, they're doing what their DNA inherently directs them to do. Your falcons are healthy and beautifully feathered. Flying and falconry are 'off the chart' hobbies.
Falconing should be unlawful and banned.
Why?
Because it's our pleasure to practice the sport
From someone who can’t even spell ‘Falconer’ you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about there is vastly more countries who practice the Art than those that don’t in the world.

Hi Kirk, I am based in Colima, Mexico, and flying raptors here. Where can I purchase the equipment to install on powerpoles and transformers to prevent raptor electrocutions?
Nice music!

can I get one of this
As in a trained falcon or just a falcon if the latter is what you require can I ask do you know what to do with one as falconry cannot be learned from books therefore it is an Art that can only be learnt from a falconer, and they are rare I trust this helps
Sir six years later I had Indian baby falcon birds... and I trained him well... but after two years someone shoot from air gun...
sir I want a baby Falcon
+Rahman Khan I would assume you live in India what type of falcon was it?
it was Indian sparrowhawk...
Thank you for introducing us to your family. My name's Old School, Old School Hawking, pleasure to meet you.
Beautiful movie K!
Sad so many oil rigs moved into there.
