Hello to all! This looks like and excellent forum and I am just beginning to explore it. I've been a falconer since 1981 and have flown a few longwings although I am a dirt-hawker at heart and an accipiter lover to the core.

I just moved to Maine this last spring and just got my facilities inspected...now waiting for Fed. permit so I can go trapping this fall. I had a couple of rough seasons the last year or two which were rudely interrupted by real life (divorce, job changes, three different moves, etc.) but I believe things have settled to a nice stable place.

Glad to be here and I look forward to all the info exchange and learning I see here! [smilie=icon_thumright.gif]
