Home What's New About Us Mission ... Global Raptor Info Network The Archives of Falconry Preserving Our Falconry Heritage May 200 Goal: Collect and conserve evidence of the history of falconry worldwide and document the role of falconers in raptor conservation. Falconers have played a significant role in our understanding of raptor biology and raptor conservation. As American falconers realized that the physical evidence of their history was being lost as early practitioners passed away, The Peregrine Fund founded the Archives of American Falconry in 1986. Donated materials reflected the international origins of American falconry, and with the new millennium we changed the name to The Archives of Falconry (TAF). Results The international aspects of TAF dominated our activities this year, particularly construction of our new Sheikh Zayed Arab Falconry Heritage Wing. Almost doubling our square footage, this stunning display juxtaposes the heritage of one of the oldest of the world’s falconry cultures with our own American heritage—one of the youngest. The wing is the culmination of three years of collaborative work to accurately display the modern as well as historic heritage of Arab falconry. The project was made possible by significant funding from H.H. Sheikh Mohamad bin Zayed Al Nahyan, son of the late founder of the United Arab Emirates and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.

Visitor's Online: 1 Welcome If you would like to view this in plain text or through your mobile phone click here The Pennsylvania Falconry and Hawk Trust (PFHT) is a group of dedicated individuals that have bonded together due to their love of raptors and the sport of falconry. Falconry is a hunting sport that is defined as "The hunting of wild quarry with trained raptors." However the PFHT and falconers everywhere are much more than sportsmen. They are conservationists, especially when it comes to the well-being of raptors. This can best be stated with excerpts from our Constitution and Bylaws. "In order to improve, aid, encourage competency in the art and practice of falconry among interested persons..." "..to promote conservation of the birds of prey, their care, welfare, and training; to urge recognition of falconry as a legal field sport; and to establish traditions which will aid, perpetuate, and further the welfare of falconry and the raptors it employs."

Some of the hood styles date back from the beginning of the sport, where food on the table depended on the simplicity and functionality of the equipment. These are handcrafted not often seen, very unique hoods. A large number of the hood styles I offer are of my own creation.

Division of Migratory Bird Management FALCONRY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What is falconry? Falconry is caring for and training raptors for pursuit of game, and the sport of hunting with raptors. Do I need a permit to practice falconry? Yes. You must have a valid falconry permit from the state in which you reside, and a valid Federal falconry permit, to take, possess, or transport raptors for falconry, or to hunt with them. With your falconry permits you also may practice falconry in other states in which it is legal. Some state, tribal, or local governments may require you to have additional permits or licenses to practice falconry or to take a bird from the wild. You also may need a hunting license or permit to hunt with a falconry bird. What is joint Federal/state falconry permitting? To simplify falconry permitting for the public, some states participate in a joint falconry permitting program. States that meet the federal falconry standards can opt to handle falconry permitting with a single permit application. In those states, once the state processes your application and we have confirmed that you are qualified, we will co-sign your permit. If your state does not participate in joint federal/state falconry certification, you must apply for your state and federal falconry permits separately. Can I practice falconry where I reside?

Home Paintings About the Artist Ordering Information/Contact the Artist ... Related Links Raptor Ridge Falconry Art Original Watercolor and Pastel over Watercolor Paintings of Birds of Prey by Mary Jo Aardsma "Mary Jo's washy watercolor portraits are exquisite and unique. Her style is loose, powerful, moody, with a pleasing balance of empty space and detail. Most of her raptor subjects are known to her personally, and this intimacy gives her art attitude and liveliness. Mary Jo's work is small and delicate, yet big in concept and design." SOAR "Words cannot capture the essence of Mary Jo's hawks. She works in small, delicate, feather-like, intimate detail. She often makes use of the white or empty space on the paper to bring out the detail of a raptor's eyes and face. She captures the essence, the individuality of the raptors she paints. her fascination with eyes brings us in close contact with the intensity and power of the raptor. Yet, there is also something fragile in these portraits. the artist presents an enthralling mixture of femnine delilcacy and masculine vigor." J. Morsicato "It's all in the eyes babe. The reason why your minimalism works is because you manage to bring out the essence of the bird through its eyes. I have no idea how you do it, but your hawks are different from your falcons. I have a level of knowledge that gives me a deeper inherent understanding of the different species ... but regardless of one's background, you have the ability to hit a universal cord. My reactions to your work are emotional; that is your strength. You have figured out your nitch, and every year you are refining it. The critic is right; technically a hawk is not hard to paint,but capture its soul?" S. Patterson

How did people hunt before the invention of the gun? Unknown to most, man has hunted with raptors for over 4000 years. Now you can experience the incredible connection between man and wild animal. Falconry hunts are conducted on the Gunflint Trail and in the Grand Marais-North Shore of Lake Superior area. We operate from mid October through the end of February. Our mission is to help human beings realize the realities of our natural world. Whether it's through our educational or natural hunting programs, we'll educate you about birds of prey, our environment and the harsh struggle all wild creatures must endure to survive. Our Redtail Hawk and hunting companion holding onto her first grouse caught with humans. Birds of prey, also known as "raptors", were replaced by the gun and other mechanized items as hunting weapons. Falconry, sometimes called "hawking," requires an incredible amount of time and energy, not to mention a special use permit to capture, possess and hunt with a wild animal. Intriguing enough, it is the thrill of the chase, not the kill, why we hunt with a bird of prey. Services offered: Educational Programs including slide shows and flying bird programs. Offered all year.
