Note 580 — Chapter XXXVII · TRAINING THE PASSAGE SAKER TO COMMON HERON[580]
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
Ḥuqār, corrup. of the Arabic ʿuqār, which is possibly also the name of the white egret. In some parts of Persia and in the Kapurthala State in the Panjab, the common heron is called būtīmār. Sakers are not as easily entered to heron as they are to hubara or to hare.
