Brian Bradley

Brian Bradley

Brian Bradley is a master falconer from New York’s Hudson Valley. His interest in birds of prey started at the young age of eight, when his brother introduced him to a professor/ornithologist at the local university. Brian got his Falconry license when he was 14, and he has been training birds ever since. For decades he has been lecturing on raptors and spreading awareness about falconry and birds of prey all across the northeast. When he isn’t in front of an audience talking about his birds, he is training with his birds. Bringing a positive learning experience to both audience and bird is paramount to Brian. Whether it's actively hunting with his hawks or talking to a classroom of kids, he feels there is always something to learn and something to share.
