Hello from South Florida

[FalHawMia]

Hello readers

My name is Mario A. and I am from Miami, FL (Kendall). I am an avid hunter, fisherman, clay shooter, arrow slinger, and aviation lover seeking an apprentice status within. I have been fortunate to see many Peregrines (taking a duck headed my way), Red-tailed Hawks (smashing squirrels), Merlins (amazing snipe flight), and Cooper's Hawks (taking out some of my pigeons) in wild action pursuits while being in the field and at home attacking my thieving pigeons.

Regarding the examination and study materials: I have attained the California Hawking Club Study Guide, Apprentice Manual, and The Falconer's Apprentice. I have completed the New York State Falconry Guide.

I read the pamphlet for Raptor Fest and will be attending.
Any other recommendations as I could not make it out to Mount Dora

I would love to chat with anyone willing to offer any sort of guidance. If there are any locals or not so local folks willing to allow visuals of their birds, mews, and so forth I would greatly appreciate it (with time).

Thank you all for your time and keep up the great work within this site.
I really enjoy using the icons

Mr. Robert Miller,

Thank you for your response and welcoming response.

Look forward to meeting any locals and hope the scarcity of land does not deter folks from assisting/sponsoring others.
