Flying with birds

[Bill Briskey]

There is a group of birders who are using the coincidental disappearance of a nesting Peregrine with the presence of hang and PG pilots to get us banned from flying NW nesting sites.  An HG pilot and I are working to mitigate and plan proactive responses.

This is a sensitive PR issue that would benefit from having some factual information about hang and bag flying successfully with birds.  I'm looking for two things: links to any videos or other data that show pilots flying with wild falcons (specifically Peregrine if possible), and a connection with someone (biologist?) who has scientific-based or actual knowledge of how our activities impact these birds.  

Please respond to me directly if you have relevant info or questions.--

Bill

There’s a dude at Torrey Pines who does falconry & paragliding.  Might want to reach out to him.
