Ohio School of Falconry

For our 3rd year, we’re going to join the festivities at the Canal Wi******er Labor Day Festival.

Enjoy free shows from Ohio School of Falconry during the Labor Day Festival 🦅

Please join us in wishing a very Happy BirdDay to OSF’s very own Linda Faber! 🎉🦉

Linda has been a longtime friend, supporter, and follower of the Ohio School of Falconry, attending many of our programs and volunteering over the years. More recently, we were thrilled to welcome her to our team, where she helps manage our day-to-day administrative workload and keeps our flock flying smoothly behind the scenes!

Linda also brings years of experience supporting raptor rehabilitation through organizations such as Nature’s Nursery in Toledo and the Alaska Raptor Center.

Happy BirdDay Linda! We’re so happy to have you as a member of our team, and we truly appreciate your years of friendship and support. Happy BirdDay! 🎂🦅

Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter, Lainey! ❤️🦅

Being my daughter, Falconry has been part of Lainey’s life for as long as she can remember. She started handling birds when she was just a little girl and has worked with and trained hawks, falcons, and owls over the years. In the early days of the Ohio School of Falconry, it was often just the two of us teaching classes together. She’d join me in the field, watching “her bird,” Ki-Lo, hunt alongside our other Harris’s Hawks.

Some of my favorite memories will always be those days with that little girl by my side.

Today, I couldn’t be prouder of the beautiful young woman she has become—strong in her faith, fiercely loyal to the people she loves, and a wonderful daughter and friend.

Your mom and I love you more than you know, Lainey, and we are so incredibly proud of the woman you’ve become.

Happy Birthday, Lainey! ❤️

We had a great time supporting an organization that has helped so many.

🥚 Big News from Sedosa! 🦅

Against all odds, Sedosa has laid two more eggs! 💛

This is especially remarkable because she previously survived two bouts of West Nile virus—the second of which nearly claimed her life.

In the first photo, Sedosa carefully tends her two eggs. In the second, she settles in for the night to incubate them while her mate, Yuma, and their 14-week-old male Harris’s Hawk offspring (who goes to his new falconer in two weeks) keep a watchful eye nearby.

Nature never ceases to inspire us. Here’s hoping for another successful incubation!

🎉 Happy Birthday Emily! 🦅🎂

Tomorrow, we will be celebrating one of the incredible people who helps make the Ohio School of Falconry so special—Emily Flinchum! From her dedication to the birds in our care, to her passion for wildlife conservation, Emily brings knowledge, compassion, and enthusiasm to everything she does.

As an accomplished falconer and former zookeeper at both the Newport Aquarium and the Columbus Zoo, she’s inspired thousands of people to appreciate and protect wildlife. We are so grateful to have her as part of our flock!

Please join us in wishing Emily an early HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎈🦉
