Of the BARBARY-FAULCON.
THe Barbary, or, as some call her, the Tartaret-Faulcon, is a Bird seldom found in any Country, and is called a Passenger as well as the Haggard. They are somewhat lesser than the Tiercel-gentle, and plum'd red under the Wings, strong-armed, with long Talons and Stretchers.
The Barbary-Faulcon is venturously bold, and you may fly her with the Haggard all May and June. They are Hawks very slack in mewing at first; but when once they begin, they mew their Feathers very fast.
They are called Barbary-Faulcons, because they make their passage through that Country and Tunis, where they are more frequently taken than in any other place, namely in the Isles of the Levant, Candy, Cyprus, and Rhodes. In my opinion, she is a Hawk of not much value, and therefore I shall leave her, to speak of ano∣ther of greater reputation.
