    Met Rodney at presentation at Yale University. Fascinating. in addition to his mastery of falconry he's helping at-risk youth to see possibilities they may never had considered.

    Awaiting the possible pip of eggs at the National Arboretum DC nest of Mr. President and Lotus. It's heartwarming to know that this gentleman has a hand in eagles coming back to the area, both in repopulation and clean up of the Anacostia. Kudos to you Rodney Stotts.

    I think he would be in trouble with the law if he tried to trap and keep a young bird of prey here in the UK... because they are protected under the law nowadays...

  • @DL-by8el

    How is trapping a free bird right? I don't think that is right. Can you tell me how that is fair to the bird. Maybe something I'm missing.

      You've got to do testing have a sponsor inspected mews and equipment and permit to do this. It is illegal otherwise

  • @motoefsane_adv8516
    @motoefsane_adv8516 Před 5 lety

    excellent work but i didnt see any reason to say "black"?. theese birds dont choose race, religion,sex or whatever. so we need to do the same, at least as much as birds do, we are human.
