In the summer of 1980 while employed with the Nebraska game agency, some time was spent doing raptor work in the Pine Ridge area. The primary responsibility was watching prairie falcon nests, and documenting what they were feeding young. There was also the opportunity to visit the Badlands and Agate Fossil Beds National Monument in Sioux county.
