This weekend the Bwog’s John Shekitka interviewed Peter Capainolo, a curator of ornithology at the American Museum of Natural History and a licensed falconer. That’s right, he’s a licensed falconer! How did you first become interested in falconry? I grew up in eastern Long Island, which at the time had all oak forests and farms. […]

Bwog Correspondent Mark Krotov attended a debate between the three parties vying for freshmen’s vote: the Flex Party, the Fusion Party, and the Pants Party.
