Today in vertebrate zoology lab we had a hawk (or at least that's what I remember it as. But maybe it was a falcon) it was pretty rad to hear about it. This particular bird was used for falconry and I found the whole idea of using a bird to hunt with. It reminded me of all the history behind this ancient practice and got me interested in learning more about falconry. It seems like a pretty time intensive hobby, the owner of this bird had told us he lost one of his birds after it was attacked by another bird and his bird flew off to get away from it and this was all after he had spent days training it to return.
