he seemingly unnatural relationship between man and predatory birds has such ancient roots that falconry terms have become a part of our everyday lexicon. “He’s been hoodwinked.” “They look haggard.” Even the word “boozer” is derivative of raptor speak, as a result of the bird “bowsing [drinking]” too much. Falconry, which arguably originated in Mesopotamia or Mongolia, typically utilized the raptors to bring in a quarry of wild game. While the sport has undergone variations over the years, the root understanding between the falconer and raptor remains static. That is, however, until man began to take to the skies himself. David Metzgar has led an extensive career as a scientist. He’s worked in the molecular biology laboratory at the Naval Health Research Center as a researcher and scientific advisor, and also in molecular diagnostics and experimental design data.
