Hey all,

I am a general falconer from Iowa. In a nutshell, I got started in the mid to late 1990s. Marriage and kids butted into falconry time for the better part of the last 7 years. With our baby going to pre-school next fall I find myself feeling the falconry itch again and able to scratch it.

Unfortunately, we had a house fire in 2005 and we lost everything except the clothes we had on, including all my falconry gear! I replaced "most" of it and have been spending the past months dreaming yet again.

I have no solid desire on what I want to fly. I enjoy dirt-hawking, but who knows what I will decide...

Regards,

Chet - from northeast Iowa
