I discovered this forum from a link somewhere or other. Can't really remember where, I had my nose in a glass of very good red at the time. Anyway I digress, I've been a falconer since my early teens and have settled on persuit falcons for the time being. I've joined this forum in the hope of learing as much as I can from American falconers as I believe you guys are willing to try new ideas much more readily than the average British falconer is. Anyway , hi there and happy hawking!
