Can a wild (baby) hawk be trained for hunting?

I have seen on tv hawks (and eagles) used for hunting, mostly by arabs in the Middle East. Are these birds breeded as with dogs in order to become a man's companion. Can someone start from "scratch," as I had this chance these days (see my previous 2 questions.) Of couse I am a city dweller and that was not my intend.

(Now, Please do not preach me on the legallity of this question/activities and similar nonsenses, OK?)

this is a 'theoretical' question and I expect thoughtful answers, thank you!
Thak you, Kelly, for sharing your knowledge. Your answers are on the lead. I listen to the call from one of your links -- very much like my little chick's voice, only a mature version.

Yes it can be done it is called Falconry... go here for more info on the training... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falconry_%28training%29

Just so you know it looks like you have a Northern Harrier also known as "Marsh Hawk". These birds do not hunt in the traditional hawk way...rather they hunt as thier name implies harrying thier prey in open fields flying about 10-20 feet off the ground. They do not generally catch other birds in flight and instead use thier hearing and eyesight to catch small prey upon the ground as they cruise around. I used to live near a meadow and there was a pair of these birds I was able to watch every day, they are beautiful animals!!

EDIT... You are welcome! Glad I could help.
