About 25 students in forestry instructor Jack E. Fisher's Wildlife Management class got hands-on exposure to birds of prey, as Master Falconer Cheri Heimbach returned to the School of Natural Resources Management this week. One of about 150 falconers in Pennsylvania, Heimbach brought along a Barbary Falcon, a Red-tailed Hawk, an Eagle Owl and a Harris's Hawk. In addition to learning about the 4,000-year-old art of falconry, students heard details of each bird's characteristics including flight speed and the power of its beak and talons.Photos by Erich R.
