Falconry: Kestrel success secrets part 1

This falconry video is part one, discussing techniques and secrets to successfully train and hunt with a kestrel in falconry. These techniques apply with other kestrel species as well as all other raptors. But kestrels have specific differences from other larger falcons, and even similarly sized falcons such as merlins. Microhawking and the use of kestrels is increasing in the falconry community. But as such, many of the older experienced falconers who have not flown kestrels themselves, often don't know some of these little secrets that help make a big difference when flying and training kestrels. I am making several of these videos to share techniques that I teach my falconry apprentices when they set out to fly a kestrel. I hope this as well as upcoming videos prove helpful to falconers and wildlife educators who are interested in working with American kestrels, or any other kestrel species. And again these same techniques can benefit any raptor species. But they are particularly important with kestrels.
