The California Hawking Club's Apprentice Study Guide provides an in-depth look into the fundamental aspects of falconry, covering essential topics such as general knowledge, hunting techniques, and the care and maintenance of raptors. This document is a vital resource for those seeking to enhance their understanding of raptors, particularly for apprentices in the field of falconry. Section 1.1 delves into the anatomical features of raptors, such as the tarsus, which is a part of the hawk's leg, and the train, which refers to the tail. It also covers the central pair of tail feathers known as the deck feathers. The guide emphasizes the primary hunting senses of hawks, highlighting that they rely on sight and hearing, while their sense of smell is not well-developed.
