Interested in learning about birds of prey? The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission will be sponsoring an introduction to falconry and birds of prey program at Mountain Harbor Resort on Lake Ouachita. The program will be held on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 11 a.m.

imageFalconry is the known as the ancient “Sport of Kings,” where a trained bird of prey is used to hunt for small game. The sport dates back over 3,000 years and was a type of hunting that put food on the table. The history of the sport and how to become a falconer will be covered as well as identification of native birds of prey. Live birds will be presented during the program so bring your camera if you like.
