Mother Falcon

Falconer: Wayne Skankey
Produced: Joshua VP
Filming/Editing/Color: Joshua VP

For thousands of years, from Mesopotamia to Mongolia, people have trained birds of prey to hunt. Falconry is an art form as much as a sport, with years of work and patience required to become intimate with a bird. In this film, you get a glimpse into Wayne Skankey’s world as he goes duck hunting with his Falcon.

Filmed in Western Oregon.
