My first day at the Equinox consisted of general instruction in falconry and a "hawk walk,-¿ which was basically a hawk training session that let me see how the birds follow and work with a hunter. The second day I went on an actual hunt at a nearby pheasant preserve with Darren Lemieux and his pointer. With two hawks, Sprint and Moet, following, we worked through the woods towards a brushy field. Bells on the hawks' feet helped us keep track of them as they flew from tree to tree.
