I hope you are able to find a new sponsor and...

Ken,

Your fortunate to have a good sponsor to show you the way. Welcome and best wishes in your falconry beginnings.

Eric,
One in Smith Valley..lots of birds around it.

Chi,
Thank you for the additional information and for the photo. I see the rolling hills of California in the back drop.
In the cities around San Francisco Bay are some very good falconers. A few...

Hello Chi and welcome !

Would you please share more about yourself and your interest in falconry

Ed, Just north of you in Washoe Valley, lives Mike Gourdeau. He's flown hawks and falcons for a long time. He has a lot of knowledge in falconry. You might give him a call since you two live so...

Hello Tommy,

There is a Oregon falconry club name Oregon Falconers Association. Attending Oregon State is the current vice president of that club, a Trent Seager. Now enrolled in the Forestry...

Fred,
Frank and Linda Ely live near the lake and lodge and Frank does a great job at putting meets together. The lodging at Topaz Lake Lodge is nice and the food at the lodge is good and reasonable...

Terence,

That's quite a group you have there and she seem comfortable among your dogs. Is that location south of Albuquerque ? Sandia's in the background ?

Ken,

Your working area looks very organized. Does it really look like that or is it like mine and John's ( as seen in the video.) So cluttered I spend most of my time looking for the tool I need...

Welcome Lance..Had a dear friend who was born in Hull and grew up near Holderness. He passed away in 1997 at the age of 90. A interesting family history in falconry there and later in Canada. What...

Ken, I sure like the way this hood seam slopes back at the angle allowing any need to adjust a gape cut. That's a great advantage over some that simply cannot be cut. A hood was brought to me for...

Terrance,

What are typical weights for New Mexico females. If there is such a thing as typical. Maybe Paul,Tanner, Pete and other New Mexico folks will add what they know about weights.
When...

That's good to hear Paul. Some of the very dry deserts in California seem to be active but not producing. I expect it just the extended dry conditions. Other sites in California where more...

Terence,

That is a long ways from Albuquerque. Do you know if the prairie falcons in New Mexico are becoming scarce ? I would have thought there were closer eyries to Albuquerque.
So how is she...

Tony,

Same with me. I have very few photos to look back on. I don't remember my parents taking any of myself with hawks and few taken since then with me in them. I'm usually the photo taker and...

Tony,

Nice to have some photos to help with the "wondering of what he looks like"

Thanks for offering up the "then and now" images.

Looking at Mikes new website I read that he will be offering hoods by Chris Proctor. Congratulations Chris on this new outlet.

Hi Ken,

I like the look of this hood and it's changes.

Would be nice if you had some photos of it on a hawk.

Dan

Hi Ken,

Many of those shown here I remember from the video. Others must have been in Steve Duffy's collection and I have not seen them before. Two of the Arab hoods shown in this thread, have...

Hi Dale,
Glad to see you here. Bev and I just spent a month in Bishop, California and by accident I learned of an old friend of yours. Ken Ebert. I gave him your email address and hope you two...

Hi Ken,

How do you keep your work table so organized ? Mine never looks that good. Whats the timer for ? Glueing seams ?

Dan

Scott,
How did you end up in that small town ? I once considered a move to the Tucson area. That was in the early 1960's. Then Tubac was a small undiscovered community that I liked. The open...

Very nice ken. I wonder if Rob has looked at NAFEX ?
