Idaho Longwings and Kennels

Former apprentice (Thurman Pratt) and myself walking into the field to fly Vertigo my 580gram tiercel Peales peregrine.

Getting ready to launch. These pictures were taken by a very tallented artist Nathan Gross. Check out his web site at

This is Steve Chingrines dog retrieving the pigion after his bird made an AWESOME killing stoop. I think the bird was trying to figure out what was going on. Pretty funny. Steve I am sure is laughing all the way to the bank. Good job Steve.

This picture is of Douge Houghes from Blackfoot Idaho. Also a very talented photographer.
This is Pagen the bird I chose not to fly because she hadn't been flown in about two weeks. That was probably a mistake. I chose to fly her Friday after the trials and she was amazing, driving the pigion into cover. Pretty cool. Maybe next year.

This bird is Chloe. I chose lower her weight so I might get a better response in front of every one at the trials. That was also a mistake, because I got her to low. She was the one that I was most excited about and I screwed it up. Maybe next year with her also.
