where is a good place to start resurching falconry? i've always wanted to do it, but i dont even know where to start learning what i need to know

I found this website http://www.oregonfalconers.org/ but I can't verify if they are the best contact for you or not. You may want to contact people who work with animals (raptor-zookeepers, vets, animal shelter personnel) to see if they have a recommendation for you. If it were me, one of my priorities would be to make sure the club or group I joined really took care of their birds. You will need a licence, so contact the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, they will be able to give you the best information.

Do you mind me asking why you are interested in falconry? It seems such an interesting and somewhat unusual hobby, I'd love to learn more myself.
