Falconry is an ancient sport that is still being practiced today. But what exactly does it mean to be a falconer in today’s society?

Baratunde meets Hesper Lana Fang, a falconer who lives with an American Kestrel named Goji, but the relationship between Hesper and her bird is not one of ownerandpet. Hesper explains how falconry is a form of conservation that offers people an intimate connection with wildlife.

America Outdoors: Understory is a sixpart YouTube series inspired by the PBS broadcast series America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston.
