Rohn Peterson’s Falcon Killed by Eagle. As you may have heard, tragedy struck at the Sky Trials on Friday.

There were many excellent flights. The birds flew high and the pigeons flew fast. Friday was a day for sun glasses, while Saturday had more of a chilly edge to it with a slight breeze. The birds didn’t mind and put on a great show. Tyler Stiens, […]
