Welcome and spend some time learning to look around the site, there is a lot of information on it. Enjoy time spent with the birds.

who is your sponsor?

i am not that familier with the falconers in the portland area but i might recognise his hame.

is his Gos a bird of the year?

I wont be flying mine until probably late sept as she is still growing tail feathers. same with my wifes RT. but Richard has a passage HH that he is entering right now. she just took her first bunny yesterday I think.

Sufyan,
You also have two other falconers in your area. Dennis Barby is now inactive at present
and lives in Forest Grove. Lorne Mac Lean is active and lives in Hillsboro.

The new juvenile female HH I am working with is actually captive bred and not a passage hawk,---but wish it were. Hope to see you over at the Madras meet in late October.

Yeah I live in Sherwood. Anna Lewis also lives fairly close to us, she is over on the east side of town. Her and I took our birds down a few months ago and took them out with Richard. Of course both our birds were too heavy so just played spectator to the spooked bunnies :-)

I imagine we will meet up soon. I'm going to Madras so if you are there we will meet for certain. But we may meet before then.

I released my MRT that I had so I'll be going out trapping soon, whenever Wayne has time. How close are you to having a capture permit?
