Wildman, Contributor
Biography:

I started working with wildlife over 15 years ago, as a falconer.I have hunted with and worked with many species of raptors including Harris hawks, Peregine falcons, Bald eagles, and Andean condors, which they have provided me with many opportunities to do fun things. Such as fly birds, Harris hawks, for Lenoard Rue and his son to photograph and even handle an eagle for Jim Fowler of Wild Kingdom.
I enjoy wildlife photography, entomology and mycology. Also, I have a great intrest in amphibians, particuarly frogs-green frogs, grey tree frogs-and salamanders-lots of fun to locate and shoot(photograph). Somewhere in between I find time to hunt with my hawks, fish, ride the ATV, star gaze, and work in my garden.
My education is in biology(yep, I gradyeated frum colage)- human evolution, microbiology, ecology, that sort of stuff. I was awarded acheivements as a research scholar a couple of times for research on visual accuity in red tailed hawks. I have presented work at the raptor research conference.
I work as a Environmental Health Specialist for the state of Georgia, which I hope will fund a retirement in New Mexico.
