Thanks, Dan, Jeff, and Hisaki.

I definitely want to join the California Hawking Club. My only regret is that I already missed this year's meet. If anybody in Southern California is looking to go falconing, I would be thrilled to tag along and help in any way I can. I drive a Prius and am willing to drive and pay for gas as well. I live in Riverside, and as I understand it, my county (and the surrounding counties) are well suited for falconry. Hopefully, I'll bump into a falconer from my neck of the woods soon enough.

Thanks for the support and the warm welcome, guys.
