hello all my name is Derek Boyles. And like all of you I have been bitten by the falconry bug. I have always been an outdoorsman and have been fascinated with the arts of hunting. Living in the country side surrounded by fields gave me the chance to watch numerous hawks and a few eagles catch there pray. now that Im getting older things have mellowed out a bit and I can now focus my time on researching these fine raptors. I hope to someday be a falconer myself. thanks for your time.

P.s. I glad that I found this forum it has been very helpful and informational.

Thanks again Derek Boyles
