Congrats! The feeling you get when they first jump to you is something that will never go away. Next big WOW feeling comes when they are sailing to you from a distance, gives you enough time to admire the fact that a wild bird is coming to land on your fist. Some people think falconry makes them elite, but the only elite thing about it is that so few of us get to experience raptors in such a personal way. Enjoy and keep us updated!
