Since 2 other Marylanders just posted I felt I should as well. There are some great resources on this forum that I've seen as I wandered through some of the old posts. I'm a first year in MD, went out BC trapping and bow netting on the eastern shore with my sponsor already, holding out a few weeks until the migration picks up to pick a hunting partner!
I especially like the way this forum has a personal touch with the name tags--it makes it feel more interactive.
(welc) Abby!
Welcome to the forum!
Welcome Abby (welc)
(welc) Abby, how about telling us something about yourself, and we do like trapping pictures.;)
See you around!
Welcome Abby.....looks like us Marylanders are making for a take over of this site over the last couple days here!!
Hi Abby, welcome.
Hey Abby... welcome aboard!
what's the story behind your avatar (owl)... and are you in south-east or south-west MD? :)
Good god, another MD hawker... I think I may need to make a section on here just for you all. beeer
Welcome Abby,
Don't hesitate to post and, as Ev said, we always enjoy pictures of trapping.
I hope you continue to enjoy the forums.
happy hawking
Chris
I'm in SE MD, AA Co. I practically live in a marsh; the old maps call my area "the great swamp."
The owl was a rehab case a falconer/rehabber friend had. I just like the stare they have.
Sorry to report that I don't have any trapping pictures yet as my friend who was supposed to bring the camera forgot it and I lost my cell phone in a large unmowed ditch while placing a BC! Said friend and sponsor tried calling it but it was on vibrate. Fortunately I now have a new phone and will be taking my camera for round II next weekend.
I do have to say that I didn't realize that catching pigeons and starlings was fun until I tried it...we got 4 pigeons at once in D.C. with a phai.
I do some painting, horseback riding for fun (I used to do endurance riding with horses), used to breed exotic wildfowl and still have a few. I'm a full time student at the moment though!

I'd really like to learn more about captive breeding of raptors in the future but for now I'm focusing on learning to fly!
i hope those are eggs under that last bird.....lol.......
Welcome to the nut house.(welc)
Abby:
The painting is VERY nice. Show us more. Ever think of painting raptors?
I agree. The swan is an incredible painting, I'm working on getting back into acrylics, it's a slow process with fast paint.
You call AA county Southern MD? lol
