Aerial Assassins Premieres on National Geographic

Ok, so I'm unashamedly promoting my new show on National Geographic WILD in this post. It offers a fantastic insight into the lives of Harris's Hawks, the Sonoran Desert and its creatures. Please see below for more details.

The National Geographic WILD TV network is debuting Aerial Assassins, hosted by James Currie on Friday, January 20, 2012. The new hour-long show delves into the Sonoran Desert to track Harris's Hawks.

A former wildlife wrangler, Currie also hosts, Nikon's Birding Adventures TV, the first bird-watching travel show in the US.  James Currie is a native of South Africa; he has led wildlife and bird-watching tours for more than 15 years. His passion for wildlife and traveling has led him all over the world, from the Amazon to Australia and even Madagascar. Currie describes himself as a lifelong "birder," and feels "truly blessed to be able to do what he loves." James states, "I am so excited for the premiere of Aerial Assassins and to introduce the world to the Harris's Hawk, a species that has become popular among birders and others over the past two decades."

Like other well-known predators such as lions and wolves, Harris's Hawks are also fiercely brutal and track prey in packs. James Currie will take the viewer on an adventurous journey through the desert with the hope of witnessing Harris's Hawks hunting together. Like the aforementioned animals, the birds are unpredictable and there is no guarantee as to where and when the hawks will prey. The viewer will just have to watch and find out.
