I first saw John Karger in full medieval falconry regalia in the mid-1980s at the Houston Renaissance Faire. Over the years I've continued to be mesmerized at his various public demonstrations and fund-raising events. His
Last Chance Forever organization is one of only two facilities in Texas approved for the treatment and repatriation of birds of prey to the wild by the State of Texas and United States Fish & Wildlife service.
Today's event in Boerne, Texas, had John sharing his knowledge and thoughts on nature and man's place in it, highlighted by letting the attendees see hawks, falcons, owls and a Bald Eagle up close and personal.
John has been doing this a long time and with help from friends, family and private donors, small and large, he is building the foundation for the
Last Chance Forever organization to continue long after he is no longer in a leadership role...which hopefully will be many years away. ;-)
Check out my photos and then visit his site,
Last Chance Forever, check the schedule for future presentations and consider helping out.
