This year, I decided to trap and train a peregrine falcon. I've never had a whole lot of interest in large falcons. I've trained lots of captive-bred ones, and generally speaking, I'm more interested in watching goshawks, redtails, and merlins fly down their prey. However, the opportunity to fly passage peregrines after over 40 years of them being restricted from falconry use is a huge privilege and I wanted to discover for myself, how well a female could do with hunting the large ducks of Maine's coastal estuaries. So here's "Mistress." I hope she does as well hunting as she has been doing during her early training.
