Hard At Work ! [blog]
On the film and production front it has been a busy spring and summer. After the trip to Gabon in January, I had the pleasure to dive right into the raptor film for National Geographic and Nature. We moved towards finishing it with the documentation of Bob Anderson’s work with raptor recovery, especially the awe-inspiring Peregrine falcon work he continues to spearhead with his team of naturalists. Our film is all about raptor flight and the challenges of understanding it. We have awesome visuals thanks to the development of a small camera which we fitted to Red tail hawks, Golden eagles and a Peregrine falcon, capturing a 1000 foot stoop!! [more blog]
