From French fauconnerie .
falconry (countable and uncountable , plural falconries )
The sport of hunting by using trained birds of prey , especially falcons and hawks .
1854 , Henry David Thoreau, Walden, or Life in the Woods [1] :...looking up, I observed a very slight and graceful hawk, like a night-hawk, alternately soaring like a ripple and tumbling a rod or two over and over, showing the underside of its wings, which gleamed like a satin ribbon in the sun, or like the pearly inside of a shell. This sight reminded me of falconry and what nobleness and poetry are associated with that sport.
