What are the Odds??

Sometimes things happen in life . . . . and you have to just stop for a moment and scratch your head and think . . . . what are the odds??

In the post below I indicated how incredibly random our stopping location in Oklahoma City was. Well, while there in Damon's front yard showing off the bird, and making initial introductions, his neighbor came over, and upon seeing the bird, told us about the neighbor behind who had just finished building a facility, and was going to get into falconry. I asked him if he would be so very kind as to go over and bring him over. So he did!

Above is Blake Richardson, holding Nina. She actually is the first bird he has been able to hold. He did just recently finish building an incredibly NICE mews, and got it inspected. He will be trapping his first hawk this fall. He offered, and I accepted, and Nina too got to "couch surf" by spending the night in his mews. I'm sure she was far more comfortable in there than in her travel box!

Oklahoma has a population of about 3.5 million. There are about 60 licensed falconers there. How the heck did I manage to randomly meet someone who represents such a small percentage of the population??

Good Luck Blake! Drop me an e-mail sometime soon, for I failed to take that from you. I'd like to hear how your progress goes. I'm sure you'll do fine!
