Episode 118: Pakorn Patimetha

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/06/18

Out of all of the episodes I've recorded thus far for the podcast, this episode has to be one of the most unique. This episode features another New Jersey falconer, who was recorded last summer as part of the ongoing dachshund series, and hearing his falconry and overall life journey was truly inspiring! Pakorn Patithema discusses what he had to overcome in his youth to pursue falconry, and how falconry was what kept him on a good path, in what could easily have turned out to be a dangerous one for

Episode 117: NJ Roundtable Discussion

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/06/11

While recording the bulk of the ongoing dachshund series last summer in New Jersey, Paul Eliya, Casey Everett, Pakorn Patimetha (who you'll hear from soon), and Erik Swanson decided to sit down and have a group discussion, highlighting different viewpoints on a couple of continual hot topics within the falconry community: the use of social media by falconers, and the US falconry sponsorship system. These topics can spawn some heated debates amongst the falconry community, but the participants in

Episode 116: Clayton White

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/06/04

This episode is another lengthy one, and it's packed full with a lot of good information and experiences! A lot of you, especially the falconry book collectors in the community, will probably recognize the name of our guest for this episode. Clayton White, who is the author of Peregrine Quest, and co-author of Peregrine Falcons of the World, gave me the better part of his afternoon a few months ago, so the jaunt was made down to Utah to discuss Clay's tenured history researching birds of prey. For

Episode 115: Jeff and Lauren Redig

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/05/28

This is another nice change of pace episode for you all, featuring another husband and wife falconry duo. Jeff Redig was recorded at last year's NAFA meet, and while we were all in Wyoming to meet with and record other falconers. a recording with Lauren was able to get done as well. The decision was made to go ahead and combine their conversations into one episode, so here we go! A lot of different things are covered in these conversations, ranging from the trials and difficulties of falconry to the

Episode 114: Dennis and Alyssa Hurley

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/05/21

This episode with Dennis and Alyssa Hurley was one of the last episodes recorded while in Tyler, TX, and is only one of a couple of episodes published thus far that features a father/daughter falconry tandem! It was interesting to hear about some of their experiences getting into falconry together, as well as some of the early hurdles they had to face. Their falconry path is another one that many should hear, particularly by those who are still very young and thinking about pursuing the

Episode 113: Erik Swanson

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/05/14

We're back into dachshund talk again! Erik Swanson, another part of the crew I got a chance to record while in New Jersey last summer, is also the owner of East Coast Falcons, which offers a lot of different abatement services and has been featured in the New York Times, Philly Times, CBS News, and other media outlets. Erik has also owned and bred dachshunds for several years, and like many, the breed has had a special impact on his falconry, as well as his life in general. He has also done a lot to

Episode 112: Nathan Hyland

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/05/07

This episode concludes (for now) the series featuring falconers from Canada. While at this past year's NAFA meet, Nathan Hyland was finally able to come onto the podcast to discuss using modern technology to film hunts, flying falcons, goshawks, Harris's hawks, and other species in Canada, and other fun topics. Hopefully in the future, we'll be able to coordinate other in-person recordings with other guests from Canada at a meet, but until then, thanks for listening to the series, and hope you've

Episode 111: Bob Glass

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/04/30

While at the New Jersey meet earlier this year, Bob Glass joined the podcast to discuss his new book, A Journey with Red Tails, and the process involved with writing it. We also discussed different aspects of being musicians, NAFA, the New Jersey club, his sponsor and mutual friend, Bon Lozaga (sorry Bon!), and he also shared one of the craziest stories I've ever heard in regards to potentially disastrous hawk encounters with farm equipment! Pick up Bob's book at

Episode 110: Robert Carter

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/04/23

We're back in Eastern Texas again for this episode, in which Robert Carter joins us to discuss his transition from his early falconry days flying longwings on ducks, to flying red tailed and Harris's hawks on squirrels. He also is one of the first falconers I've talked to that has incorporated poodles to help in his falconry. This is also another good episode that goes into depth more on living by the falconry principle of adapting your falconry to the quarry and opportunities you have available to

Episode 109: Brian Bradley

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/04/16

Brian Bradley of Skyhunters in Flight joins us for this episode of the podcast. This episode not only takes us back to more dachshund talk, but Brian also discusses different kinds of trapping, as well as other important aspects of falconry that he's had a lot of experience with. This was another fun episode recorded while visiting the falconry crew around the New Jersey/New York area, and again, highlights just how much dachshunds can add to the falconry experience in the right areas!Special

Episode 108: Dale Guthormsen

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/04/09

We're coming down to the last couple of episodes of the series featuring falconers from Canada. There's still one left after this episode (for now), but the guest for this episode, Dale Guthormsen, is a well-traveled and experienced falconer. Dale is full of knowledge and stories, and I'm glad that we got a chance to talk about all kinds of odds and ends, including standards in falconry, certain training techniques with longwings, learning from others' mistakes, and special birds. There's no doubt

Episode 107: Michael Calvin

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/04/02

This was one of handful of episodes that was recorded at the 2023 NAFA meet. This last NAFA meet also happened to be the international (IAF) meet, and presented the chance to sit down with a few falconers from other countries. In this episode, Michael Calvin sits down to discuss and clarify the current state of falconry in Australia, raptor rehabilitation in Australia, and what brought him to eventually settle in Australia in the first place. There's a lot of good information in this episode

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/03/26

This episode features the current president of the Texas Hawking Association (THA), Dr. Corey Roelke. Corey is a biologist and also teaches at the University of Texas at Arlington, and thanks to him and the Texas Hawking Association, you all will get to continue to hear more about falconry in other parts of Texas, particularly the Western part of the state!

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/03/19

This episode continues the ongoing dachshund series! Madison made the long drive to New Jersey from Eastern Tennessee to join us all while we were recording a lot of the initial episodes for this series. After taking in some of the sights of the surrounding area, she sat down to discuss some of her highs and lows in the worlds of falconry and dachshunds, including discovering falconry as a teenager, and also having to work through losing one of her previous hunting partners. Stick around, there's

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/03/15

In this next episode featuring falconers from Canada, Louise Engel joins the podcast to talk about some of her experiences with flying and breeding barbary falcons, as well as flying a perlin (cross between a peregrine falcon and merlin). Amongst many other things, she also discusses how some of her early interest in falconry took shape when she found out about bird abatement. There's still a couple of episodes left with falconers from Canada, so be on the lookout for them in the coming

Episode 103: A Tribute to Teddy Moritz

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/03/12

This is another special episode that brings many falconers together to recognize the contributions of another one of their own: Teddy Moritz. After much debate on when would be a good time to release this episode, the decision was made that now would be as good as any, being that none of us are getting any younger, and there's still so many more stories to share! The contributions that Teddy has made over the years, not just to the world of falconry and dachshunds, but also to the personal lives of

Episode 102: Charl Lotriet

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/03/05

This episode lets us briefly revisit the Western Cape region of South Africa again, where our guest for this episode, Charl Lotriet, is from. Charl was one of the falconers kind enough to host me while I was in South Africa last summer, and he also took me to experience my first safari trip. Charl is relatively new to falconry, and he discusses his experiences getting into the sport. It was interesting hearing his background as a pilot, along with how he got into the sport. I'm appreciative of his

Episode 101: Randy Watson

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/02/27

This episode takes us back down to Eastern Texas to talk about some good ol' fashioned squirrel hawking! I have to acknowledge and give props to this episode's guest, Randy Watson, for helping to make a lot of these Texas-based episodes happen with falconers on his side of the state, including the recent Gary Brewer episode. Randy was generous enough to contact me and have me down to get these recordings made late last year, and it was great getting to hear how he met Gary and initially got into

Episode 100: Martin Geleynse

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/02/20

This episode's guest features another falconer from Canada, Martin Geleynse. Martin is another falconer who's been at it for a very long time, and during that time, he's sure stayed busy! During his years in falconry, he's worked a lot to get falconry regulations approved in Ontario, and he's also currently serving as president of the North American Falconers Association. It was nice getting another perspective on what it's like to juggle these responsibilities along with falconry and life's other

Episode 99: Dr. Ken Felix

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/02/13

Those who are knowledgeable in the history of falconry are aware that there are few falconers left who were around during the early formative years of falconry's foundation in the United States. There are even fewer left who can say that they had a chance to learn from some of those falconers instrumental in forming those foundations. Thankfully, some of those falconers still around from that era are willing to share what their experiences were like, and the guest for this episode, Ken Felix,
