Falconer Kelley Kemp with a Harris Hawk.
"Novice falconers are only allowed to catch a Red-tailed Hawk or a Kestrel, which are the most common raptors in the Tehachapi Mountains, and the reason that they are encouraged to catch a wild bird is so that if mistakes are made in the training or if the bird escapes, it will know how to hunt for itself and will simply revert to a wild state."
