Falconer

Tim introduced his guest Mike Dupruy a local falconer. Mike's program was very interesting. He was interested in doing this since he was a young boy. Mike explained how hawks are trained, where they are found, and how they are handled. Mike has three hawks he works with. He told us how one of his hawks flew several hundred miles away, but he was able to get it back. When he works with the hawks he uses an electronic device to keep track of them. Mike also has a hawk food business. He sells 1 day old dead chicks for hawk food. There are about 4,000 falconers in North America.
