Free tools for working falconers
Make your own equipment from size-locked, printable patterns, and scout your next passage bird with three decades of public banding and sighting data. All free, no account needed. Made for falconers by Falconry Journal Pro.
Passage Scout
An interactive map of where juvenile raptors actually turn up: 30 years of USGS banding records, 11 million recent sightings, terrain hillshading, and a week-by-week fall passage filter. Zoom to your area, mark spots worth checking, and export them. A starting point for scouting, not a promise; always follow your state's trapping regulations.

An Anglo-Indian hood pattern drafted from one head measurement with the classic Slijper canon, plus an illustrated step-by-step making guide.
