There is but very little art in this flight of the 
courageous, 
the hawk feize the heron, the falconer muft run to her 
affiftance and kill the heron, giving the hawk her -reward, 
the heart, and letting her ftand over the opened breaft, and 
feed on other parts. of the entrails; then let her be hooded, 
and afterwards the bird is to be fwung about the head, and 
the hawk taught to’ come and feed on it out of the falco- 
ner’s hand. See ok Skea 
‘When the hawk is thus fairly entered, another live heron 
is to be procured, and let off in an open field undifabled. 
As foon as fhe is rifen to a confiderable height in the air, 
the hawk is to be let out after her; if the hawk clofe with 
ker, and bring her down, the falconer is to run up to her 
affiftante, and fticking the heron’s bill in the ground, and ° 
breaking her wings and less the hawk is to be left to feed 
and plume upon ee When fhe is thus well managed, the 
may be taken to the waters, and let at a wild heron in the 
following manner: : 
When a heron is found, the falconer is to get as nigh her 
as he can, going under the wind with his hawk, which mult* 
be a gerfalcon, or jerkin, with a haggard falcon for the 
driver. Thus having the hoods loofe as foon as ever the 
heron is up, let off the driver, which makes up to her, and 
eaufes her to work in the wind ; then let go the hawks that 
are to fly at her; but when they have worked above the 
by breaking her legs and wings, and t 
the ground. For this flight of the hawk there fhould al- 
ways be a dog trained up to the fport, whofe bufinefs it is 
to come up and kill the heron the moment that he fees her _ 
If the hawk cannot hat her down, or gives over the’ 
flight, then give her.a train heron or two in a proper place, 
before fhe is truited at a wild heron again, otherwife fhe will 
be difheartened and fpoiled. * BREE B
