Good to have another guy on here who's crazy for tiny raptors. It'll be nice to hear some of your input in that arena. I'm a freak for the small stuff too. Flying 2 merlins at the moment, in addition to my gos....

Welcome!
And HEY Paul E.! We'll have to do some duck hawking together again this season!

I flew the pigmy accipiter once, I don't think I had the experience to properly train it but it was very interesting... I prefer the males...
