Host Gail is joined again by Lori Arent, Assistant Director of The Raptor Center (TRC) at the University of Minnesota, for a captivating conversation about how the science of the creance technique for reconditioning raptors was developed. 

So much of what is done in wildlife rehabilitation is educated guesses. This episode explores how educated guesses and trial and error led to the study of reconditioning. It is an art that pulls from the biomechanics of flight, sports physiology, and horse racing!
