Ramoth? You mean the 53 oz Eastern RT? Her name was/is Rema. Thru Andy McBride, from a minister in the east. I flew her in 1983-84, she went to Aris Johnson, who later released her into the wild. She took 50 jacks for me first year and 51 in yr 2. Just returned from Spokane, WA, 17th annual Partridge Fest at the home of my sponsor. About 80 people, all about falconry. I understand Chris Boyce is in OR Thanks for the posting :-) Jamaica, CHC Jamaica? Ramoth? You mean the 53 oz Eastern RT? Her name was/is Rema. Thru Andy McBride, from a minister in the east.

Your ability to keep it simple yet moving is a true talent. And though my husband never read McCaffrey, I convinced him to name two of his birds after dragons: Ramoth, a memorable female RT, and Mnementh, his 9 yo imprint tiercel gos. Thanks again for a good read. Jamaica Lovely article, Rebecca. Your ability to keep it simple yet moving is a true talent.

Not sure what he is flying. When we met he was flying a HH and I was a little disappointed. I figured he should be flying a falcon (falcon & snowman..LOL). When I saw him a couple of weeks later he had trapped a prairie. He seemed like another falconer. I never asked him about the past and he didn't talk about it. He went to the CHC meet that year but I don't think anyone really knew who he was. Rebecca,

How cool. I mean, I'm sure he's just another one of us, but he managed to stumble his way into falconry lore. I hope he's having a good life now. Joe, you seriously hunted with Boyce? How cool.

So I guess I join the nerd team as well. The more I read about falconry the more fascinating I find it. I'd love to see some birds in action some time.

Sometimes I have waited for birds to land in a pond as I watched them work in. My father speaking in my mind saying don't move, don't look up, easy....wait. I sometimes think my falcon can hear me saying that to him, wait for them to clear, wait...NOW. A side note, I went hawking with Boyce when he got out and moved back to the bay area. I didn't know it when we met, only after we were in the field. Rebecca,

Who knew that McCaffrey was required reading for future falconers? I'm gonna go slink off into my garage with 12-sided dice now and pretend I never outed myself. Well, shards!!
