Thank you for your kind words, Joe. They're appreciated. I want to fly a merlin as well, but am waiting for I hit general and I can save money up for telemetry, as i hear they can be wanderers. I enjoy reading everyone's experiences though...and I'm living vicariously through others this year. =)
Sandie: Tried to send you a PM but when I did it indicated that you have chosen not to receive Private Messages. Just wanted you to know that I very much understand and respect how you have set your priorities. Also that I very much enjoy your thread/postss regarding your Kestrel experiences. In the past I've only flown Red Tails, however I had been wanted to fly a Merlin for several years and this year I am. I absolutely love this little bird, and have come to deeply respect how difficult "Micro-Falconry" can be compared to flying a bomb proof Red Tail. Best Regards: Joe Kosaakowski joekoz on NAFEX
