On the Kansas prairie, a master falconer develops a unique bond with birds of prey

Monte Markley with his prairie falcon Storm in a field near August, Kansas. He says he fell in love with raptors as a kid because of a book and a hawk in a box.

Monte Markley read My Side of the Mountain as a kid and was captivated by the story of a boy and his falcon. He's now a master falconer, training his latest bird on the grasslands of Kansas.
