Hi
I support the proposal to expand the live capture of wild raptors by licensed falconers. My brother is a licensed falconer.
The species to be accessed by falconers are stable and will have no impact on wild populations. These include the RedTailed Hawk, Coopers Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Merlin and with this proposal the Goshawk.
The limited access to wild raptors by falconers has been extensively studied concluding that this activity has no impact on wild raptor populations and should therefore be permitted as outlined in the proposal.
