Tens of thousands of raptors dies each year in this state from natural causes and electrocution and Audobon is concerned that upping the falconry take will pressure the populations? Instead they are limiting the amount of people who could become licensed falconers and therefore safely handle and rehabilitate wild birds--not a trivial exercise I assure you as Deputy found out when I took him hawking a couple of weeks ago.
Hey Deputy, hows the hand? Sorry about the holes in those nice neoprene gloves.
