About corey

I'm a Master falconer in the Reno, Nevada, area. I started hunting with red-tailed hawks, and now I hunt with Harris Hawks and falcons. I really enjoy getting people involved in falconry and taking people out to experience it. Recently I have enjoyed talking to groups about my birds and falconry. Get hold of me through the "Meet and Greet" link. There is also a link to contact my friends in Southern Nevada.
