I have read 2 of the books (Raptors, On the Wing) and I've read several parts of Emma Ford's 1992 book on falconry.

Is there some sort of falconry pop quiz I can take? Specifically for hawking.

I meet Spence in Merritt Island on Monday.

I made a bird feeder. Now I could really use some birdseed.
