My
passion since childhood has been falconry. Many life choices have been
driven by the unflagging desire to experience this ancient art/sport in its
fullest. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Biology, Kansas State University,
1979. I did my senior thesis on the subject of imprinting and have used
this information on our own birds which are often artificially inseminated
to produce either hybrids or purebreds. My passion for raptors has led to a
respect for the one of the ultimate longwing quarries, grouse. I have spent
many hours observing the fascinating mating rituals of my local grouse, Tympanuchus cupido, the greater
prairie-chicken. I have been to the far corners of the earth studying
animals and consider the lekking (mating) behavior of this dwindling
species to be the most intriguing in the entire animal kingdom. Please
consider a contribution to help save North America's
grouse species via the North
American Grouse Partnership.
