An Introduction to Falconry: Hunting with Birds of Prey
Saturday, April 17, 2010; 1 pm

Falconry is the only sport in America that uses a trained wild creature for hunting. It presents huge challenges and enormous commitment, but can be equally rewarding and exhilarating.  Come and meet local General falconer, Jim Primus and his beautiful and talented birds as he introduces us to this ancient sport.
