Falconry Diary | First hunt of the season with my Harris Hawk

Today I thought I'd give you all a taste of my quiet life with the birds, as well as my first hunting trip out of this season, with Venom my 20 year old Harris hawk.
There are scenes of hunting (though not gory in any way for those on the gentle side).
Please watch, and experience the gentle quiet of falconry with me.

[@PendeltonWhiskey]

She effortlessly works her bird, works the dogs, carries the world's luckiest baby and makes a video, all at the same time. Beautifully amazing

[@sabinacatignani5334]

Mum:)))

[@lifemademary]

She is badass!

[@happybergner9832]

AGREE 💯😊!!!!💕🙏

[@steelhead197]

Amazing! 🤩

[@FangedBeauty]

What a badass woman. Carrying a child and a bird of prey at the same time

[@PendeltonWhiskey]

And making a movie at the same time. That's the luckiest baby in the world

[@trueaussieray9093]

And husband!..

[@butterflylady8875]

A warrior woman!🥰

[@chuckbus]

Needs a Percheron ❤️

[@lisabailes1065]

Alfie looks just like you! And he was so calm during the whole walk. Venom is truly beautiful. It's amazing the trust between you.

[@Raelven]

I have never seen anyone suited up and trekking through marsh, carrying a six month old baby, a bird of prey, the required gear, a selfie stick, navigating fences and gates, while providing commentary. You are an absolute boss.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Carrying a Bird of Pray a Baby and filming it all, while going through gates and over moorland........ Very Impressed Amy.... I do love the Harris Hawk, I have been hunting with one..... One of the best days of my life... Take care :-))) xxxx

[@JD-qi1cy]

Amy is an amazing trainer. She’s always in control of every situation. A true, hardworking, dedicated professional. Much respect.

[@ChrisTietjen_00]

Thanks Amy. Alfie is adorable. It's so nice to see how easy it is for you to be active with the birds with Alfie in tow...and it is very relaxing to get a glimpse of life in that environment. It's great to see dogs doing real dog stuff. No leashes, fences, bad behavior or endless boredom.

[@hexhex7220]

" Wish I was being carried!" the cry of so many moms. You are so inspiring. A Mom, videographer, falconer, simultaneously. Quite the trek. ( Scottish tourism should sponsor you for enticing us to visit the splendor :) Eagerly awaiting your next video.

[@Kltpzyxm17]

One of the luckiest children in the world...

[@Kltpzyxm17]

I was one of those kids... I grew up in Southern Ct. Old growth hardwood forests, and a boat on the sound. Some people would call that Privilage. But, I lucked out. Thanks Mom, Thanks Dad.

[@s10m0t10n]

Really enjoyed the hawk walk. Thank you, Amy.

[@FalconryAndMe]

You are so welcome!

[@sabotagesavant5277]

Boop Boop ! Thanks for sharing the beautiful countryside where you live. Alfie is a cutey & good to see you two together. What a great environment to be raised in. All the best from the southern U.S. Boop Boop !

[@sonjakarnaat3623]

, beautiful scenery, Alfie looks adorable and we see Venom in action (well sort of 😉)! Thank you dear Amy,

[@beakittelscherz5419]

nice BoopBoop !

[@jiveturkey9993]

That's a beautiful happy and healthy kid you got.

[@FalconryAndMe]

He loves being outdoors - he's a very happy baby too which is a bonus. Just sees joy in everything!

[@maureenackerley8024]

@@FalconryAndMe he is having the best life possible! A healthy respect mother nature. A beautiful boy is Alfie. 💙

[@BeckeyGirard]

No one can say you have an easy job even though you're in an environment that most people would consider heaven! God Bless you and your work.

[@nadiavoun7137]

Alfie is a lucky boy. So glad you've shown us the hawk in flight. ❤❤

[@juliajensen7973]

Thank you Amy! Such a delightful...personal walk!

[@loisschultz8889]

I am relaxed and smiling. Thank you so much!

[@timpanda3780]

I’ve so enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing your walk . The surprise pheasant reminded me of walks in the Scottish hills that my Dad would take me on & the ‘shock’ of an unseen grouse or pheasant suddenly taking off a couple of feet away from us. Wonderful experiences.

[@nanwilliamson5936]

OMG ! What a woman! What it takes for a woman to do what she loves in the world! Thank you so very much for the extra effort to share it with us!!!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

A beautiful world you've brought to your child - he'll learn things that can't be taught

[@jara4766]

Tfhey will be deeply engrained. What na beautiful person he will grow into.

[@JA51711]

Great care of the birds. Alfie has great instincts like Mommy. Harris Hawks seem to be incredible hunting partners and I've noticed humans are great bird dogs for their falcons LOL

[@gov.dept.ofethicsandadvanc7736]

MY GOD! Congratulations on the birth of Your Baby!!! It's so sonderful. Im just really impressed with how you handle these animals.

[@robg1525]

I've not watched a video on this channel in a while, but wow! It feels like a BBC mini documentary! Also the baby's adorable 😁

[@elisemiller13]

So lovely to see you Amy out with baby & Hawk. Lot's to carry & juggle, oh my, but must say, is it Althea? Beautiful big brown eyes and open for adventure! quite like Mum

[@rockreader4298]

Thank You Amy, for your Graciousness in sharing not only your wealth of knowledge, but bringing your Alfie along. It's such a Joy to be reminded of what pure Wonder looks like. I am super Impressed with Brennon. He shows his intelligence and he's Gorgeous, as all your feathered Friends are. Wonderful Dogs too. : )

[@darcyferrigno]

The kid is going to grow up wondering why other mom's don't have a hawk on their arm whilst on walks. Beautiful video!

[@tarapayne4945]

Just amazing! Gratitude for including us in yer day🙏 🦅 💜🥀💜🥀💜🥀💜🥀💜

[@Babba08]

Hello from Maryland in the US. Thank you for such an enjoyable and relaxing vlog. It was amazing watching a woman carrying a baby and working a bird of prey and walking her working dogs. I have a big smile on my face.

[@FeralCatSanctuary]

Good heavens! Holding the baby, the falcon, the camera, and walking through a very unstable hillside! I am so impressed with your energy! What a beautiful walk with all three of you. Thanks for taking the time to give me a way to have peace and joy!

[@nicholassalchert8583]

I don’t know much about birds but I love this channel because you teach me so much and I’ve always been interested in them, such amazing creatures! Please keep it up 👍👍

[@FreedomLifeFriends]

That countryside is just gorgeous! What a privilege to live and work in such a beautiful area! Thanks for sharing.

[@JMemski]

Fantastic training all-round, your little one is gorgeous too, we have a little girl who is just a few months older than your little one and I'd like to say you're absolutely nailing it.. I can't imagine doing this much and raising a baby, you make it look easy! ❤ hope you're all good, I'm spending the next few hours catching up on your content that I've missed over the last few months! X

[@FalconryAndMe]

Thank you Jordan. And congratulations on your family 🥰

[@DaveLife1]

Major systems meltdown all week in my world of IT. So thank you for the foggy walk in the hills with beautiful birds of prey. Such unvarnished joy.

[@emmettarts1723]

You are an incredible human. Love your videos and content. Lucky baby, lucky birds, lucky us to get a glimpse into your wonderful world. Thank you. I love your music tracks too.

[@FalconryAndMe]

Thank you very much. Glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@sg.o7139]

The look on babies face as you walk is priceless. Thank you for sharing these videos with us.

[@perculiar_daughter]

I loved this, thank you Amy, Alfie and Venom for allowing me to share. Xx

[@sapelesteve]

Talk about the highlands Amy, just beautiful & thanks for taking us along! Alfie is one lucky child! That Harris Hawk is a beauty. You are so lucky to be doing what you obviously love! Hope that you guys are doing well & staying safe. A big Boop Boop to Fable from me! 😉😉👍👍🦅🦅💖💖

[@gwenloughman3775]

Reckon Alfie wasn't bored at all, he was just so wonderfully soothed and lulled by his beautiful surroundings that he was sent to sleep. How meditative. Really enjoy your videos, Amy.

[@layla1954]

What a beautiful place to live, I really envy you. Allie looks great and he is getting really big. Thank you for letting us into your world!!

[@ethicscannie5716]

Really great video Amy! Thank you so much. Wonderful to see you out and about with your terrific birds and with Alfie in tow. Does Alfie 'boop boop' like Fable?

[@blaineparker8733]

So cool, amazing to see you with your son and your hawk! Thxs for sharing your outing

[@elkins4406]

Gorgeous countryside, lovely fit dogs, stunning bird, and an adorable baby. And Mum, having to carry everyone around! It looks like you've settled in now. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@ptrcnns1405]

Thank you Amy for sharing your time with us. Alfie is one beautiful baby.

[@sue7777]

I really enjoyed the walk around your little bit of Scotland. Alfie seems to be a real trooper--once he fell asleep, he stayed asleep! Thanks so much for sharing this video with us.

[@keenosaabi4530]

lovely morning walk, thanks for taking us along.

[@FalconryAndMe]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LadyTamika]

I was soo tired yesterday but I could not stop watching!! Thank you for sharing this fascinating day

[@Positive-ju1ie]

The countryside is amazing. How great you and yours got the opportunity to have a home there. And what a well mannered hawk.

[@DrewShark11]

Thank you for the education. Your enthusiasm shines through. It is my honor to be able to assist you.

[@FalconryAndMe]

I'm so glad you enjoy the videos

[@derp_dragons]

That place is gorgeous! Thank you for taking us along!

[@JC-rf7rb]

Dear Amy such a pleasure your new video. I enjoyed so much the hawk hunting and the great presentation of the daily routine with your pray birds. This time Allie is a silent star but soon he will be running around like the pointers bothering birds.

[@paulkinzer7661]

All days with a video from you are better! With my favorite hawk, the Harris', it's even better. I've watched them in the wild on trips to the southwest, and have a large photo of a youngster in a flowering bush hanging in my living room. Beautiful birds, with fascinating social behavior!

[@FalconryAndMe]

Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Great video. The papoose style of baby carrier is my favorite baby shower gift. It's healthy for the baby to be near mom's heartbeat.

[@kaylemoine1571]

What a beautiful baby. So alert!

[@mahlonharders1789]

Great to see you ,and your little person!! What a cutie.

[@weissrw1]

That may be one of your best!! I loved the bird, the baby, the walk, and the talk!!!

[@theburrowrises8549]

I love hearing about the peregrine falcons. I live near Rochester, NY, and there used to be a pair of peregrine falcons who nested in Kodak Tower every year. They used to have something called the falcon cam on the pair. Not sure if they are still there, but the pair came back year after year to raise their young. It was really neat.

[@loishill110]

Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us! I find you so remarkable to do what you do! Beautiful serene landscape to say the least!

[@pattharrison6792]

Baby is beautiful What scenery!

[@horse4you]

Hello Amy. Thx for the video. Good to see the dogs doing dog things. Venom is getting the time he needs, Alfie, so cute. I'm winded for you girl. Spring is coming. Cheers!

[@msaditu]

This was so interesting to watch. Amy, you are amazing! Alfie is the cutest baby and he looks so much like you. You all are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

[@loganchannel100]

Awesome to see Venom in flight and out hunting. You and your family are truly blessed!

[@ericball6000]

Amy, so good to see you and Alfie, he is getting so big, and thanks for the walk on your land, cheers.

[@debbiehill4248]

so jealous Amy. What a place you have chosen to live. Great for the soul. I look forward to all your videos when they drop. Alfie is going to thrive in that space. Don't forget to take some water with you when your out on your hikes with the birds.

[@LudwigHohlwein1974]

When he comes back to perch on your hand... amazing! Great vid. Much love, peace

[@sulijoo]

A part of me has always wanted to work with birds. Well, today I got my chance. A magpie flew into my kitchen. Yes, a magpie flew into my kitchen. It hopped onto the washer, poked around. Then it flew over to my sink, poked around. Then it found something it liked, the sponge I use for washing up, and flew out with it in its beak! But that wasn't the best part. I was bending over to pick some seeds up...and it flew onto my back. So here I was bent over, with a magpie on my back, wiping its beak on my shirt! Easily the highlight of my day, week, month, year. Just adorable.

[@trueaussieray9093]

It was interesting to see Mum going into hunting mode the same as the bird

[@dancook1118]

I am lucky to have done a bit of hill walking in Scotland. I’ve not seen anywhere that is like it. The long views over the landscape and the relentless weather Make for a beautiful and challenging experience. Thank you for taking us along.

[@allisonmay7825]

Alfie's a Bonnie wee boy! Loved the video of Venom on first flight of season, really enjoy your commentary too, thankyou!😀

[@lorraineriley6393]

What a life, for you,Alfie,and the animals. Absolutely a dream.x

[@jenesisjones6706]

Absolutely delightful! What a lucky boy Alfie is...as are all your birds. You live a l8fe that I would love to experience, so thank you for giving me a taste. Cheers from Tasmania. 😊

[@catzkeet4860]

What a fabulous place to live! Alfie is busily absorbing everything too, all the sights, sounds and smells around him…..you can almost see him soaking it all up.So nice to see the birds out in the weathering yard as well. Been a while since we’ve seen everyone, and so fantastic to watch Venom fly.

[@shotgunbettygaming]

An absolute pleasure to watch your videos. Total Joy. Thanks for the walkabout! 💟💟💟

[@Medhead24]

God I’m lazy!!!! I’m out of breath just watching. Thank you for this video it is fascinating how other people live. This beautiful lady is one hard worker. ❤️❤️

Absolutely facinating, complete respect and admiration for the work you do. All the best 😀💜💜

[@larsjohannesson398]

Thank you for sharing, it is always wonderful to have peaks into you world and getting to see these birds working hard

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

Wow! Look at those pointers! Beautiful work!

[@phylliscook5594]

What a beautiful bird, you are truly blessed

[@fredtedstedman]

Just wonderful Amy , had to watch till the very end , subbed . Best wishes from Pembrokeshire .

[@mickemike2148]

Nice location! Alfie's curious little eyes is clearly following the action. I bet the first words out of his mouth will be: -"Boop, boop"!

[@gigicostlow4414]

You are an amazing woman! Always a treat to see you with Alfie and the dogs and flying your beautiful birds.

[@daviddemarco7499]

Sweet little baby, so good and curious.

[@deachen6023]

Lovely to see the vastness of your realm. Fresh air and exercise. Stay well.🦅🦅🦅

There's my day made.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

"Peregrines - the religious bather ..." :-D That was a really interresting Motherhood-Falconry Episode... It´s really nice to hear from you ! Stay safe dear. Greetings from Germany.

[@mattymaple1976]

Does a religious bather cleanse themself on a set in stone schedule? Or do they pray before bathing and recite the rosary whilst drying off?

[@Zabigdog]

So wonderful, thank you.

[@GoldenSkullProspecting]

just recently came across your vids, your hawks and fable the raven and the pups are amazing, you certainly are talented with your training.

[@marzymarrz5172]

So wonderful. So this is how babies in your part of the world get those rosy cheeks....falconry in the morning with mother.

[@Monkeybutt4659]

Oh my, what a beautiful baby Alfie is with chubby little cheeks. Give that little one some extra cuddles for me. Each and every one of the hawks are just stunning to see and I envy you to be able to handle and work those gorgeous dogs and the birds. Nature is one of the most beautiful things in life that we are able to enjoy. Today most people are too busy with life to even take notice and that is sad. I live in a very populated area not for from Washington, DC and I am able to view so very much wildlife around me and it actually stuns me. Walking my nephew's dog a fox was walking down the sidewalk and when he got about 10 ft. away from us he crossed the street to avoid us. I have deer, foxes, geese, ducks, hawks, great blue herons, and the most beautiful pair of bald eagles and they will stand in the edge of the pond and fish. I so enjoy every minute of it and wouldn't trade it for anything. Much love, stay safe and cuddle little Alfie for me.

[@chaoticvena]

It was amazing, thank you ❤️
