Who's Imprinting in'09?

[murraym]

I am thinking about imprinting a wild take peregrine this year. I have a permit and can legally take one at 18 days old. I may give it a try.

Sorry...no accipiter ideas.

I know of a few eyries here in AZ. I didn't end up getting a wild taken bird as planned last year but hopefully this year. Another falconer pulled a tiercel last year and there was only 2 birds in that eyrie. I had pulled one the year before from a different eyrie so I figured it was his turn and was happy for him.

Matt, I think your talking about Gary Alton taking the tiercel peregrine. I know he pulled a wild tiercel peregrine from Az last year. Unfortunately, Gary passed away last year. The last conversation I had with Gary the tiercel was doing well. I don't know who ended up with the tiercel.

Jim, I offered a bird to Gary if he didn't find one but he did. He was so appreciative that he helped me out on the peales/anatum that I have this year. Gary was a great guy who, even when he was very sick started out by asking how I was doing. A great guy and good for falconry in CA. I believe they now have or are at least closer to a peregrine take because of his efforts.

Does the AZ G&F mandate that you can't take one before 18 days old?
