Hiya all! Just a heads up that the Washington Falconers Association will be holding their annual summer picnic at the Snoqualmie River Campground on July 27th-29th (with Saturday the 28th being the big auction/picnic day itself).

If you are a new apprentice/pre-apprentice, this is a great place to meet potential sponsors, snag good gear at great prices, see birds of all different species and talk hawkin' with other falconers for hours on end (and isn't that what we all do best?).

There is also a special pre-apprentice/apprentice 'class' that me and some of my fellow falconer friends are hosting from 10 to 11:30am that will cover topics ranging from equipment examples and native raptor natural history, to getting started in Washington as a new falconer and a brief introduction to the language of falconry. We'll have coffee and snacks, so come early!

For more info/details, check out the WFA website - and I hope to see you all there!
