Newfoundland Hawk
Makes His Home
In Beta House
By Elliot Krone
Many college students have
hobbies such as stamp collecting,
photography, dr hunting, but the
distinction for having one of the
most unique and fascinating hob
bies on campus goes to Richard
McCowan who raises hawks for
the ancient sport of falconry.
McCowan, a seventh semester
L.A. student, keeps his hawk in
Line basement of the Beta Theta
Pi house and trains it every af
ternoon on the College golf
.:ourse.
"I've been interested in birds
ever since 1935," stated MaCow
an. "My brother bezari raising
hawks then and I took an in
terest in the sport while working
with him. Falconry is not a fly
by-night fad," continued Mc-
Cowan. "The first record of fly
ing birds for sport was in the
year 5000 B.C. in China. From
there it went to India, then to
the Middle East. During the Cru
-,ade.s falconry was brought to
England and was popularized as
a sport for the 'elite' of the king's
court."
"Mercury," McCowan's latest
catch, was hatched in Newfound
land and was caught on its way
to the Carribean.. "Training a
falcon is a long, hard process,"
stated Dick. "In order to be
'.rained properly, the bird should
receive instruction from its first
lay of captivity."
"Hooding is the first process in
braining," he continued. "The
gird must be made to feel de
pendent upon you. After acclim
ating it to hand feeding, the bird
is taken outside and given a
chance to fly at the end of a
cord. Daily practice with a lure,
pidgeon wings on a weight, pre
pare the bird for actual free
flights.
Having spent hours of patient
training, the falconer realizes his
goal when he sends his bird aloft
without any shackles, sets a pig
eon free, and then sees the fal
con come screeching down from
over 5,000 feet to claim its meal.
"The particular bird that I
have now." commented McCow
an, is a Duck Hawk, noted for
its bold flight and speed. Some
falcons have been timed at 180
miles per hour in a dive which is
faster than any other bird or ani
mal in the world."
McCowan's bird caused a little
excitement on the lacrosse field
last year. He was flying the
hawk during a practice scrim
mage, when suddenly it swooped
down between the players. The
lacrossemen couldn't decide if
the ball had taken wings or if
they were being attacked from
the air. Explaining the situation,
McCowan claimed his feathered
fury and from then on he di
rected the bird's flights away
from the lacrosse games.
