From New York

[SubLevel]

Hello, my name is Hal and I am from Dutchess County in New York. I am very interested in falconry but I would like to get to know the ins and out of every aspect I would need to know to be able to take care of such a magnificant creature such as a Red Tail Hawk, possibly even a smaller bird due to living area. So I suppose what I am doing really is looking for someone in my area who could take me under their wing ( no pun intended or was it? ) to show me the ins and outs before I decide to actually apply for my liscence for apprenticeship. What I mean by this is I am look in for someone who could coach me as a spectator for about a year help me learn properly to ensure I am confident enough to actually be a Falconer. Basically I would be going thru a 3 year apprenticeship if I do feel confident in myself with such great responsibilty at the end of the first year.
