All "raptors" includes species of the order or orders... a.
Strigiformes b. Falconiformes c. Accipitridae d. both a and
b - Answer-d. both a & b, The term "raptor" includes all
hawks and owls. Accipitridae is the largest family of hawks
and eagles within the order Falconiformes, but it is not an
"order".
Desertion of the nest by adult raptors is most likely to
occur... a. just prior to egg laying b. during late incubation
c. during hatching d. just prior to fledging - Answer-a. just
prior to egg laying, Once the eggs are laid, most raptors,
though not all, are likely to stick with their clutch, despite
disturbances.
True or false: If the first clutch of eggs is destroyed soon
after being laid, many hawks and falcons will lay a second
clutch. - Answer-True. This tendency has been used by
raptor propagators to maximize the progeny of breeding
pairs. The system is called "double clutching." Caution:
some raptors, if disturbed on eggs in the wild, will abandon
their nests and close down their reproductive systems for
the season.

A falconer is most likely to encounter a "brancher" of a
species of hawk or falcon in... a. January b. March c. June
d. October - Answer-c. June, A brancher is a young hawk
that has left the nest or eyrie, but has not left the
immediate vicinity. In New York, a falconer will most likely
encounter a brancher of the species of hawks or falcons
used in falconry in June. Great Horned Owls typically
breed in January or February (depending on geographical
location), so branchers of this species would be
encountered earlier than June (February or March).
There is an observed trend of young avian predators
(particularly falcons), shortly after leaving the care of an
adult, to begin taking quarry considerably larger than is the
norm for adults of the same species. This is probably
because... a. the youngsters are still growing and need
more food than adults b. the young birds are stronger and
can out-compete their elders for larger, more nutritious
prey c. more skill is required to catch a smaller bird d. all
of the above - Answer-c. more skill is required to catch a
smaller bird, Certain principles of aerodynamics dictate
that any bird lighter than a raptor that is chasing it can, if
the wing loading is even approximately the same, always
turn inside the turning radius of the larger, heavier bird.
This factor operates very powerfully for a few months, but
as the raptor develops flying skill and dexterity, smaller
