This week we are joined by poet and falconer Jim Nelson. Jim calls in from Washington State. He shares how he started falconry, what birds he has flown, and some of the amazing quarry he has pursued including Ptarmigan in Alaska. Listen to the harrowing tale of pulling an eyeass Gyr Falcon from the Alaskan tundra and his brushes with death along the way. We also discuss importing the aplomado falcon to America, authoring books and we take several poetry breaks along the way!
