out falconerA discussion on falconry and the importance of birds of prey to a healthy ecosystem — as well as a chance to meet those birds — will be the centerpiece of Trout Unlimited Cataloochee’s next meeting 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 12, at the Rendezvous Restaurant in Maggie Valley.

Jeff Curtis, a licensed falconer and guide with Curits Wright Outfitters, will share his birds and perspective on an ancient sport that’s evolved from a simple nomadic tradition to the sport of royalty to the now highly regulated pastime enjoyed by more than 4,000 falconers here in U.S. and tens of thousands around the world.
