Hello everyone,

I joined this forum because I wanted to take the time to learn more about falconry. I've always loved raptors, they are majestic creatures, and when I lived in Kansas as a kid, I'd always spend hours on road trips looking for Red-Tailed hawks on the fence posts or telephone poles. I'm fortunate to live in an area where I'll get to see 2 bald eagles flying around when I'm walking the dog. Where i hunt up in northern Minnesota, I get to watch another couple of bald eagles year after year. They even help us find crippled ducks during hunting season. I've always wanted to get into falconry, but I'm at the point in my life where money's tight, paying off college tuition, and probably won't be able to get into this sport for a few years(or decades). I'm hoping I'll be able to learn a lot here, and maybe make some friends in the area so that maybe I can learn a few things in the field.

Thank you,
