Whether you've been practicing falconry for years or are just beginning your journey, we'd love to have you with us. This picnic is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends, welcome new members, swap hunting stories, and kick off another exciting falconry season. If you're interested in becoming a falconer, this is also an excellent chance to meet guild members, ask questions, and learn more about our sport and the conservation of birds of prey.
