Greetings from a Newbie!

I am quite certain that the constant inundation of newcomers may be a bit redundant, but here's my contribution!

Hello, I'm Will Hawkins from Decatur, Ga. I have just recently (<24 hours) completed TCI's basic course and rigging class taught by the illustrious Treeman. I am looking forward to many adventures amongst the trees, and I just wanted to begin connecting with you fellow climbers. I would love to learn from the wealth of knowledge and experience that y'all have and might be willing to share. Thanks in advance!

Cheers!
Will Hawkins

Never gets old hearing from new tree climbers. Congrats on completing the courses and looking forward to hearing about your tree adventures!

Hey Towhee,
Neat little web site ya got there.
Has a nice blue collar flavor to it.
Bio Diesel; one of my Sons favorite subjects. . .
40 foot containers packed with mechanical stuff; one of my favorites. . .
And when we’re not swinging a wrench around here, we are climbing trees!

Welcome aboard TCI!

Not everyone here knows birds Towhee. So fill us in on why you chose that name. Now you can really get us going if you take out one of your long lenses and get a shot of the real feathered thing.

Towhee is an award winning photographer by the way. So you photographers in this crowd might want to exchange u2u messages on that subject.

The Eastern Towhee has long been a perennial favorite bird of mine. They always seem to be singing from the undergrowth, "drink-your-teeeeee!" or their familiar call of "shriiinkk!" Thus, it seemed a natural choice for a name suitable for lofty explorations.

Hello Towhee,you are lucky,I fly from the other side of the earth to go Atlanta learn from Treeman on 4 years ago.
For years,I bringing many Univercity graduated students and researcher up to 150 foot high tree to work.
In Taiwan,we had a proverb says that "Teacher is just a key to bringing you step into the gate, you have to struggling by your self after that."
You are an American,speaking English good,but I don't.I have to check my English dictionary when I communicate with American,so as visit TCI website.
Tree climbing world is fantastic.yesterday,I went to our Yusan national park to watching some giant trees which we gona climb on next month,I feel I belong to there,I am suppose to be stay in canopy there.

Greetings, Will.

Out here we have the Spotted Towhee, a common sight, or rather sound, as we hear them scurrying along the brush on the side of the trail. Welcome to the community.
