This episode is the other recording that I did while in Arizona a few weeks ago, and thanks to the encouragement of mutual friends Kalen and Amy, I was able to meet up with Jerry and get his story while at Amy and Donnie's place. Jerry is another falconer with a very long career in the sport, with a lot of very unique experiences. He talks about flying golden eagles and ornate hawk eagles in AZ, his unique way of getting interested in falconry through raptor rehabilitation (which in that instance, he caused as a kid), working for and dealing with Federal Fish and Game, and what led him to eventually start the Arizona Raptor Center. This is another jam packed episode that encompasses a very eventful life, so we hope you learn something from it!

The 2024 NAFA meet was the first time there was a chance to meet and talk to Sabrina in person, and it was then that we first discussed being on each other's respective podcasts. We finally made this happen recently, and on this remotely recorded episode, we talk about why Sabrina decided to restart and continue on with her show, what species she prefers to fly, her preferences in dog breeds, and aspirations for her falconry moving forward. If you want to hear me on her show as well, look up the Bird Hunter Diaries podcast and check it out and show her some support too!

These next few months are gonna be coming to you from AZ, AR, and OK! I recently visited falconers in each state during my travels before, during, and after my birthday, and got a lot of good episodes recorded. This episode was one of the two I recorded while I was in AZ, and features another falconry couple, Amy Woods and Donnie Darras. They provided yet another unique perspective on being a falconry tandem, and we had a great time talking about hawking in AZ, their time volunteering at the Arizona Raptor Center, Shiba Inus as falconry dogs, and other fun stuff. Thanks again to Amy for letting me swing through, and to Jen Keenan for helping make the trip happen in the first place!

In this last episode (for now) featuring falconers from Kansas, I sit down and have a fun, lengthy conversation with Bill Brooks to talk accipiters, particularly Cooper's hawks, starting falconry in California during the early days, and the inspiration behind staying busy making blocks, perches, and other things. Thanks for joining me on my birthday today and having a good time listening to another spirited episode of the Falconry Chronicles Podcast!

They're another couple that were each already falconers when they got together, and they each discuss their individual stories. Bill also talks about writing the book Wildlife Law, Regulation, & Falconry: Legal Principles, and involvement in other organizations. There's some different perspectives and other knowledge that can be learned in this episode, regardless of experience, so come join us!

In this episode that continues telling the stories of Kansas falconers, Ron Krupa details his early beginnings in falconry, how he ended up working with different organizations that eventually led to his tenure in the Phillipines working with Phillipine eagles, and what that fifteen year experience was like for him. This is another unique one that you'll want to hear!

Continuing on in Kansas, we're joined by Doug Burt this episode. Doug has another good story to share, since he had serious illness to overcome and a lot of really tough issues to deal with to navigate in his everyday life, let alone falconry. He also talks about his love for accipiters, transitioning to flying longwings, and lots of other great stuff! This is another inspiring one, don't miss it!

I have been talking to the guest for this episode, Jake Thomas, for over a year now, trying to figure out how I could make it down to feature some of the falconers from Kansas. Well, those plans finally came to fruition, and I was finally able to make it down to Jake's to record over a recent weekend! In this episode, Jake discusses all the factors that led into his falconry, his preferences in dogs, and what it was like jumping into the deep end with goshawks and some of the lessons that went with that. I hope you get something out of these next handful of episodes coming at you from Kansas!

This episode, we're revisiting the recording with Ken Hooke, who also agreed to do a segment for the Falconry Follies series. As many of you now know, per the announcement during this episode, as well as previous announcements, the decision has been made to discontinue the Extras Membership for extra content, so from here on out, the Falconry Follies series will be mixed in as a change of pace from time to time. For those who were members, those previous episodes will remain active via the link that was given and will remain exclusively available to you. I hope you have fun with this new installment in the Follies series before we start getting to more current content next week that was recorded recently with falconers from Kansas! Ken has some more pretty funny stories!

Shortly after writing his book, The Philosophy and Ethics of Falconry, Colten contacted me and introduced himself, asking if I could possibly give him feedback and point him in the direction of others who might also do so. After reading his book, I asked him if he might be willing to let me use him and his book in my first attempt at producing an audiobook, and towards the end of last falconry season earlier this year, we did just that! Colten came down to record over a weekend, and along with the audiobook, we recorded this episode, and did some hawking as well! If you want to get the audiobook for yourself, it can be found on Audible and most other audiobook platforms, and you can also obtain a physical copy through Amazon, Western Sporting, and Northwoods Falconry. Many thanks to him for coming down and being willing to record this project, as well as this episode!
