Hello I'm Eric an apprentice falconer from Kansas; I joined NAFEX to get advice from any falconer willing to give it and of course the camaraderie. I have a very knowledgeable sponsor but my philosophy is: multiple heads are better than one! I have been in love with Falconry since I was 14 and now that I am 40 and self employed I have the time it takes to make the commitment. I have a passage RTH and she is coming along just fine. We have had some ups and downs but that is part of this learning experience. Hope to meet some of you in Kearney, NE this Thanksgiving. Happy Hawking, Eric
