long time lurker

[dcowan]

Hello,
After years of lurking here, I've finally decidied to introduce myself. I've been falconer for fourteen years. I started flying redtails on squirrels and rabbits, then on to a cast of Harris' hawks. For the past two years, however, I've had Merlin fever. Other than my time with the cast, I'm strictly a one bird at a time guy.

I've been to several NAFA meets, and have met a few of you. I would be the quiet guy that hangs out with Fred Fogg.

I enjoy doing doing falconry video, and would like to introduce my new video of my current bird. It's on you tube as "Flight of the Merlin

Welcome aboard! We'll overlook the fact that you hang out with Fred.

I looked for that video but didn't see that title? You can post a link to it here.

That's a pretty good 2nd post! I enjoyed it. That's a killer merlin...knocked over the falconer and almost wiped out the camera.

Nicely done...and your bird dog skills aren't too shabby either.

Great video! Thanks for posting. That's the first Merlin I've seen fly. That little thing is FAST!
