We had an awesome opportunity to interview Jim and Kathleen Tigan of Tactical Avian Predators<\/a> at the Earth Day Food & Wine Festival<\/a>. As we were walking through the crowd we noticed this majestic hawk (found out it was a Harris Hawk named Uncle Murray) on Kathleen\u2019s arm so we had to go check it out.<\/p>\n

As we were chatting with them we asked if they’d be willing to do an interview, and they graciously agreed. You\u2019ve got to check this out, it’s such a cool concept. They do environmentally safe pest control using trained hawks and falcons for vineyards.<\/p>\n

And as you can see, Kathleen threw a glove on Hoot and he got to hold Uncle Murray\u2026WOW, Hoot got a hoot out of that!!<\/p>\n

We really appreciate Jim and Kathleen doing the interview and we are really in awe of what they do\u2026these are amazing creatures!! Many thanks you guys, keep up the great work of protecting vineyards and educating the public, cheers!!<\/p>\n
