About Bob Glass

Bob was born and raised in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland, although he has called New Jersey home for the past 50 years. It is here where he has pursued his passion for birdwatching and enjoyed the art of Falconry. Bob has enjoyed competitive skeet shooting and won several championships at the New Jersey state level. He has spent almost forty years as a falconer and over half that time has been dedicated to hunting with Red-tailed Hawks. At the time of writing “A Journey with Red-tails” he was flying his 22nd red-tail. Bob has been involved with the New Jersey Falconry Club since he became a falconer, holding almost every administrative position in that club with most recently being the President. Bob was also the Secretary of the North American Falconers Association (NAFA) in the mid to late 1990’s. He proudly boasts that he built the first computers that the club ever owned. Writing this book was never in his long-term plans but as the years and his love for red-tails rolled on, he began documenting some of the birds he flew, those with unusual behaviors, as well as some of the exceptional birds he has flown. He also started to note some of the incredible stories of red-tails he has had the pleasure to know. Pieced together they paint a picture of how wonderful the sport of falconry truly is. Bob is married to his wonderful wife Michelle and they have a son, Sean.
