I am a member of the Washington Falconers Association. We are organizing
a group trip to Boise, to take a float trip down the snake river through
the National Bird of Prey Refuge. We ended up having a few people cancel
on us, and I am scrambling to find people to fill those vacant seats.
Initally, this trip was aranged to be a funciton of the Washington
Falconers Association, however at this point anyone who would like to go
is welcome.

Just by way of information, the Bird of Prey refuge is located on a
stretch of the Snake River that contains the densest nesting population of
raptors known anywhere in the world. A falconer/naturalist by the name of
Morley Neilson was instrumental in establishing the refuge. Morley will
be our narator during the trip. He is a very lively and colorful
individual. You may have seen him on a recent 2 hour episode of "Nature"
featuring John Denver (Morley is the 70+ year old gentleman that repels
into the eagle nest). Morley picked the day for prime viewing for us,
when the prarie falcons will be fledgeing and the raptor activity is at
its peak. It should be a spectacular event.

We are takeing the float trip on Saturday, June 12 and we have negotiated
a group discounted rate of $91.80 per person, all taxes included. Boise
is also home to the World Center for Birds of Prey, they will have tours
of their visitors center available Sunday, June 13.

If you, or ANYONE else you know would be interested in takeing this trip,
please let me know as soon as possible. I have 2-3 seats to fill. I will
fill them strictly on a first come first served basis. I will need to
collect the money for the seats as soon as possible.
