About this title

Synopsis

Master the ancient art of falconry with a thorough, historically informed guide that blends natural history with hands‑on training methods.

This edition surveys the claims, history, and practice of falconry, presenting how trained hawks engage with quarry, the equipment used, and the skill of the falconer. It offers a window into the birds’ ways, the process of training, and the field techniques that have guided practitioners for generations.

Written to illuminate both the science and the craft, the book ties together the birds’ natural character with practical instruction. It covers a range of birds—from peregrines to merlins and goshawks—along with the gear, handling, and routines that keep trained hawks effective in the field. Readers will gain insight into the temperament of each species, the training milestones, and the day‑to‑day care that supports successful hawking.

Foundational ideas about falconry, its claims, and its place in natural history
Detailed looks at the Peregrine, Merlin, Goshawk, and Sparrow‑hawk, including behavior and training notes
Practical guidance on equipment such as bells, jesses, hoods, and lures, plus care routines
Discussions of field practice, management, and different hunting approaches throughout the seasons

Ideal for readers new to falconry and those seeking a classic, primary‑source style guide on the sport’s history and practice.
