Great thread. Scott, earlier in the thread he mentioned the female was on the nest when he approached it. She jumped off and was defensive.

Too funny Jeff! It always amazes me how this sport is so below the radar that most people don't notice or recognize what they see. Good luck and great thread. I look forward to following your...

It should be interesting Lew. I'm curious what your reason is for staggering the take age?

Even young downies will do this, male or female. By lightly patting/pressing on top of the chick's back between the wings with your flat palm you will illicit this response. They will ball up there...

There is a bit of misinformation in this post. The difference between iron and steel is the addition of relatively small amounts of carbon to make the iron harder. Stainless steel is steel and is...

Great pic John......this photo should be in the dictionary under "yarak." I too am a passage goshawk guy, ironically I'm from Montana near where you are now. However, now I reside in Alaska. I...

Greetings Gary, welcome to NAFEX. Lot's of nice people and good information here. When it's 40 below there you can get some hawking in through other folks, gets you by. :D

Conor, I consider you one of the best photographers on this site and have enjoyed so many of your pics that I will gladly oblige. I don't tend to take many photos while I'm hawking so the pics are...

BTW wyodjm, how many toes does that passgos have and where do I get one? Am I seeing things or is that real? Looks good to me.

Hi Everet, you know I have mixed feelings about RTs. The part of falconry I have really come to enjoy is the trapping/taming/training process of wild birds. After flying my first RT for 5 seasons and...

Hi all, My name is Eric. I am a master falconer residing in Anchorage, Alaska. I have been lurking for a while....so I know a little about quite a few of you. Seems like there are a lot of nice...
