This blog is designed to help us keep a journal of our falconry events. Gun is a Tercel Anatum Peregrine Falcon which is being trained by Dal McBride and was bred by Eric Steinhauer. These birds of prey are the fastest living things and can reach speeds of up to somewhere between 200 and 300 mph.

Check out the sequential images, videos, friends, and other bird pic pages located to the right side of the screen. I will be sure to keep these pictures and videos coming! (All images © Darvil B. McBride)

Scout in trouble!

Our dog, Scout, is used to being buddy buddy with Gun. Peach, however, does not appreciate Scout's companionship yet. Please watch video 14 in the video section to see what it's like.

Bye Gun! and Hello Peach!

Gun has successfully been placed into a breeding project to be a Papa Peregrine. For now, we will miss him. I am, however, pleased to announce the arrival of Gun's sister, courtesy of master falcon breeder Eric Steinhauer.  She is still a baby, but she is strong and beautiful. We will keep you posted on Peaches progress. In honor of her elder brother, this site will maintain Gun's name. Happy Hunting!
This is Peach. Immature, but beautiful. She is about 1/3 larger than Gun.
