  • The first time Paul Mascuch's falcon saw a drone, she didn't know quite what to make of it. Mascuch, an experienced falconer in Parma ID was nursing the bird back to health after she had suffered a broken wing. The quadcopter, which Mascuch had fitted with blade guards, was placed on the ground next to his falcon. She eyed it warily. As the motors started up, Mascuch distracted her from the noise with a snack. Here, Rutkin details how the ancient royal sport of falconry is embracing high-tech hunting, with falconers using machines to train birds of prey.
