Hello Ben,

Welcome to NAFEX and I wanted to add some other names of people in that part of Nevada. Steve Baptiste and Dave Jamieson were some of the earliest among falcon breeders in the USA. Steve is still around and lives northeast of Sparks. Further south is Mike Gourdeau in the Washoe Lake area and further south yet is Frank Ely in Smith Valley, Nevada. All of these falconers have a long history in falconry and a wealth of information and experience among them. I hope you are able to meet each of them.

Ben,

I will second Jeremy by saying that Dave J. and Martin S. are a great resource not only because of their experience but because they are really really nice, decent people aside from anything to do with falconry.

Mike Gordeau is also a really nice guy and very approachable. Best of luck! -J

I'm in Carson City and I know a few Falconers in the area.

Again, a BIG Thank You to you all for the warm welcome, and being able to steer me in the right directions. I guess I never realized just how lucky I am to be here in Reno, as far as hawking is concerned. As was mentioned, this are is a virtual Who's WHO, in terms of falconry, and raptor husbandry, in this area, and I look forward VERY MUCH to be able to be a part of such a wonderful community, both here online, and out in the field.
