Hello from Pennsylvania

Hello and welcome!

falconers tend to be a little "different" by nature... you will probably fit right in....

I hope so!

Rima,
Cheri Heimbach is our apprentice coordinator and her email is located on our state falconry website. If you can not locate it, PM me and I will pass along her information. She will be able to best direct you to able/willing potential sponsors in your area. Most guys/gals (from my experience) like to have you go hunting with them for a season to asses your commitment. Do not be afraid to ask a falconer to go hunting and follow up with him/her if it doesn't happen right away. I personally do not "beg" interested persons to go hunting and expect follow up to come from their end. Falconry is for the most part a solitary activity and getting your schedule to mesh with someone might be difficult. My wife and I are both medical professionals as well as falconers, and you are more than welcome to come hawking with us if you ever make it up to Lewisburg.

I will keep that in mind for the future, thank you! I will not contact her just yet, I know that I do not want to be an apprentice for at least a year because of my schedule for the upcoming school year. During this time I will see if there is anyone I can spend a couple of days with in the field/ do research/ try to figure out if I can fit a mews in my yard. But it is great to hear that someone in the medical field is into falconry, I will be sure to let you know if I ever get to your neck of the woods, and I appreciate the invitation!

Hello and welcome!

Thank you!
