Hello All -
I was recently driving home from work when I saw someone slipping a hood over a falcon as they were preparing to leave. That started me thinking....I have always been fascinated, even since I was a teenager, in birds of prey. The speed of the Peregrine, the power of the larger Hawks and Eagles. Very alluring.
So, I have started learning. Soaking up information and planning how I can be more involved in Falconry. I am just starting out and want to meet as many people and learn as much as I can about the sport before jumping in. I am still young, and have two young children, so it may be a few years before I have my own bird, but I would love to find someone I can tag along with...if they don't mind having a third wheel.
