I'm all for it. I am both a falconer and a birder I know that 
there are many discussions in this group that would benefit from
"cross-discipline" input.

To those who are inclined to lump falconry in with pet birds as 
a topic that doesn't belong in this group, consider this:
Falconry is an outdoor activity. It involves both human-wildlife 
interaction and wildlife-wildlife interaction, both frequent topics 
in this group. In addition there are many raptor and raptor behaviour 
notes.

As an example of such a "cross-discipline" discussion. Two months ago
my peregrine was shot. It is now recovering from the broken wing it received.
I posted a note requesting info/suggestions from rehabbers or anyone who 
had experience with this type on injury.

(Actually, I suspect that the posting never went out to the net due 
to a problem with our note server - let me know if I should re-post it.)
