Just took it- not tooooo pleased with the results. It has come to my attention that most of it is simply a vocab test... and a few questions, I feel, are somewhat not relavent. Who cares who wrote the book- test me on stuff FROM the book. And some of the questions are pertaining to species which I am years from, or will likely never have- not necessary knowledge.
So.. I've decided to do a bit of homework.
If anyone could please define or answer the following, I would be quite grateful.
Jack
Jerkin
Musket
'full-summed'
gorge
hack
rouse
rangle
brancher
malar stripe
supercilliary line
deck feathers
slice
lugger
-What is a three-piece hood? Rufter, Syrian, Dutch
-What is unrealistic of a Redtail Hawk- Pheasant or Squirrel? I know that squirrels spell trouble.. but a RT could feasably take one. Pheasants are considerably larger- is that the correct answer? (Yes, I read into tests a little too much)
-Which are more efficient at killing their prey once they have caught it? longwings, buteos, accipiters
-
-If a nest contains 4 chicks, how many are permitted to be taken by a falconer with the appropriate permits? 1, 2, 3, 4
-Bownet is unacceptable to capture which of the following- Eagles, Falcons, Buteos
-Why is it that in a GHO's nest, all eyeasses are unlikely to be of the same age?
-Adult raptors are likely to desert a nest.. prior to egg laying, during late incubation, or during hatching?
-Hawks in immature plumage appear to be.. smaller than when they become adults, larger than when they become adults, larger or smaller than adults, depending on how well they were fed as nestlings and on how successful as hunters they were after leaving the nest.
-If baby raptors are in the nest and one parent is lost.. the remaining parent takes over all parenting duties, regardless of sex, if only the female survives, she finds another male to hunt, or neither.
-Longwings are different from other members of the falconiformes in that they.. posess extra large feet, have a notched beak, are the most maneuverable.
-How do longwings subdue their prey?
-Which hawk is least likely to slice? Peregrine, Redtail, Golden Eagle
-Why can the Peregrine be called the most successful hawk? Occurs on most continents, lays more eggs per clutch, only competes with man.
-How does plumage, skin and scale areas differ on adult vs. juvenile Peregrines?
-What is the large dark peregrine located on the American Northwest? Anatum, Peales, Common
-The characteristic of dark triangular patches under each wing identifies.. Prairie Falcon, lugger, Peales Falcon.
-A young Prairie Falcon will leave its eyrie at.. 5-6 weeks, 8-9 weeks, 16-19 weeks.
-What is the hunting style of the Prarie Falcon?
-Longwing most likely to be found in a former Crow's nest.. Peregrine, Gyr, Merlin.
-Which birds lack highly distinguishable immature plumage in the first year? Goshawk, Redtail, Kestrel
-The hawk with a summer Buteonine hunting style for grashoppers and mice, and winter falconine style for small birds is.. Marsh Hawk, Kestrel, Merlin.
-Strongest foot for size.. Merlin, Kestrel, Lanner.
-How does one distinguish a passage from haggard Kestrel?
Thanks,
Kelly
