Met Rodney at presentation at Yale University. Fascinating. in addition to his mastery of falconry he's helping at-risk youth to see possibilities they may never had considered.

Awaiting the possible pip of eggs at the National Arboretum DC nest of Mr. President and Lotus. It's heartwarming to know that this gentleman has a hand in eagles coming back to the area, both in repopulation and clean up of the Anacostia. Kudos to you Rodney Stotts.

@motoefsane_adv85165 жыл бұрын
excellent work but i didnt see any reason to say "black"?. theese birds dont choose race, religion,sex or whatever. so we need to do the same, at least as much as birds do, we are human.
