Pete, Do you know folks breeding barbaries? I'm looking to raise an imprint tiercel this spring.
thanks,
Rob

He was a trip last year. Almost ready to pick him up again...two tail feathers have about an inch to go. He was an amazing spelunker!

Pete,

Just got through about 3/4 of the link. Great read and an excellent job. Can't wait to finish. tim

I'm really into the HH thing and doing rehab work. I have been successful breeding HH's mainly for friends as I only have one breeding pair with no plans right now of expanding. Had a ball with a Pygmy Owl. Nobody writes about them here but they someday will put a new twist on micro hawking. Best, tim

Pete,

It's been quite a while, just checking in and I hope your season is off to a fast start. tim

Hey Pete! I've been off the grid for a while. I moved to Tucson for the next 4-6 years, at least I was able to stay in the SW! I found a Coops nest today, thinking of joining you this spring, lots of quail and bunnies here. Not sure which I want to fly, passage or imprint. Glad to see you are having some fun! Not sure how long of a season I'll have, I'm back on a team again and deployment is always on the horizon. But I try to fit some flying in where I can. Flew a Harris I trapped in Tucson for a season and tried another Prairie last year, but it was way to warm in Yuma and I ended up letting her go. It was 100 at the end of Oct. Ridiculous. Stupid choice on my part and ended up sitting out last season. Should have went with another Harris. Quite a bit colder here (don't laugh) so I'm excited. Well, will be checking this forum more, now that I'm settle and have a desk again. Look forward to hearing about your adventures, have fun and hope to hear from you soon.

hi, can you explain your methods of using the phia trap for trapping merlins? I personally have never used one but i want to try. Do you think they would work for short wing trapping also?

doesn't look good for the bird. Someone called the local zoo reporting they found a dead hawk in their back yard...again, left no contact information.

What kind of hawk is your profile picture

Hey Omar,
They're coming along. Coming good on the creance (considering they haven't actually flown in years). Still worried about their stamina and agility but not much I can do about that at this point. Heard you took 'the test'. I hope it went as well as you thought. Crossing fingers for ya!
