Candle, I know this may sound stupid, but almost everything I know about falconry came from a gentleman I met at a PetSmart once. He was there doing a little show-and-tell for the customers and probably trying to raise a few donations for a hawk reserve. He said that you have to apprentice to someone who is licensed to start on it. Maybe if you called the local DCNR office or something, you could get in contact with the right people to discuss an apprenticeship.
