1 Apparently a " brancher " was a hawk that had lately flown 

 but was still following its mother, while a "bowiser" was one that 

 could only travel from branch to branch. 



Harting, in the glossary of his edition of the Booke for Kepinge of Spar- 

 hawkes, quoting the Summary of Falconry by Ray, 1678, states that a 

 * brauncher ■ is" a young hawk that has lately left the nest and that it 

 was also called a "ramage-hawk."
