Why might flying your hawk in April be risky?

Flying your hawk in April can be risky because migratory urges may resurface during this time. April typically coincides with the migratory season for many birds, which can trigger instincts in your hawk to pursue its natural behavior of migration. These instincts might lead the hawk to become distracted or disoriented, potentially making it more difficult to maintain control over the bird during a flight session.

At this time, with the presence of other migratory birds in the environment, your hawk may become preoccupied with hunting or chasing these birds instead of focusing on the task at hand, which could lead to safety concerns or loss of the bird. The heightened instinctual drive can endanger both the hawk and the falconer if not managed carefully.

Other reasons why the other options do not apply include that electrocution risks are not specifically heightened in April, and while hawks may vocalize under certain conditions, "warbling" hasn't a significant impact on flying conditions. Additionally, the perception that game is harder to catch does not specifically correlate with the risks faced in April related to migratory behaviors in hawks.
