> These are probably the hawks you saw on the way down? > Yeah, that is why she is being a freak. I remember you saying that in our meeting. She has West Nile, so she is partially blind now. > Yeah, and then my red-tailed, she's old so she can't chill out. > This winter, Meagan invited me out to her property to meet her birds and learn more about this fierce way to hunt small game. Actually, on Friday, I got a call from some landowners about a snowy owl. So we get some cool species out this way. They were so big! I saw them and I was like, "it's like they know I am coming down here to talk to you." I was driving down here and I can't identify them, but I saw some huge hawks! > Thank you so much for having me out here. I've always thought working with a wild bird to hunt small game was fascinating and it just so happens that one Missouri Department of Conservation employee, my new friend, Meagan Duffe-Yates is a master falconer. You ever see those massive hawks sitting along highways or atop the trees? Some people use them to hunt. This month we are learning about the ancient practice of falconry. I'm Jill Pritchard with the Missouri Department of Conservation. Hey there and welcome back to another episode of Nature Boost.
