I support ERO # 019-1806: Proposal to expand the live capture of wild raptors (birds of prey) by licensed
falconers. Wild take for the purpose of falconry has been shown to be statistically insignificant on the the population of wild birds. If anything, it maybe beneficial since for most birds of prey 75% of the immature birds don't make it through their first season. A bird that is taken by a falconer is meticulously cared for on a daily basis and some are released back to the wild after they have survived that first year with a much better chance to add to the breeding population.
