Your Bird Story

Rodney Stotts, Caring for People and Birds through Falconry


Listen Later

Don't call Rodney Stotts a master falconer. He told me other people gave him the label. He focuses on relationships between birds and people. During our conversation, Rodney refused to choose a favorite bird. Every species and individual bird has special characteristics. He honors people in his life by naming birds after them. "Whenever I am missing one of them, I can take that bird and fly that bird, and it's just like we're together." Dippy's Dream, Rodney's sanctuary, is named for his mother. I'm grateful for the time Rodney took to share his path to urban wildlife conservation from "I need a check" to protecting and making places for wildlife.
