Purpose
The Baywing Database collects, stores, analyzes, and distributes information on Harris’s Hawks (Parabuteo unicinctus) used for falconry.
Its contribution to falconry’s living heritage is documenting the use of the Harris’s Hawk.
Pedigrees and Performance
As more generations of Harris’s Hawks are bred in captivity for falconry, it is becoming increasingly important for falconers and breeders to have comprehensive pedigree records linked to hunting and breeding performance data.
