Saskatchewan’s open skies make the perfect spot for falconry
Peregrine falcons are one of the fastest animals on earth, reaching speeds up to 300 km per hour.They can also fly thousands of feet in the sky, which the prairie landscape lends itself perfectly to.
“I mean, it’s the land of living skies, right? Everything about how falcons hunt, the Saskatchewan landscape is ideal for them,” Green said. And while the falcon may swoop in for the kill, it is the partnership with Green that makes it possible. “Falcons need a big sky,” Green explained. “If she is having a great position, she will be hundreds of feet up in the air where I can’t see her anymore… Her job is to be the perfect hunter. My job is to flush the game for her.”
At the end of the day, Green said the reasons she goes through tons of research and prep is to make sure the bird has the best possible hunting experience.
