Paperback. Condition: New.
Condition: New. This is an intimate story of biology student developing both his knowledge of the prairie falcon and his own philosophical outlook on the natural world. Author Bruce Haak shares his passion for the prairie falcon and its habitat in this fascinating story of his journey to understand and record the behavior of this spirited bird of prey. Bruce Haak is a biologist and a falconer. But in this book, he reveals himself as a wonderful writer and a biophiliac: a person who loves nature and sees all its connections with a child's sense of wonder, a hunter's passion, and a scientist's knowledge. In this autobiographical account of research on the prairie falcon in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, Bruce Haak follows in the tradition of JA O'Brien (The Peregrine), Ronald Stevens (Laggard), and Dan O'Brien (The Rites of Autumn), by blending a deep appreciation for the outdoors and for falcons into some of the best nature writing of the late twentieth century. Full of interesting encounters with the wildlife of the high desert, the book focuses most informatively on its central image, the prairie falcon, and leads to new insights into the behavior and ecology of this remarkable raptor.

Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations, bibliography. Pictorial blue blind-stamped boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. New unread copy in slightly shelf-rubbed dust-wrapper. A good modern American guide to training falcons for game hawking, mainly using prairie falcons. "Falconer and wildlife biologist, Bruce Haak, details the techniques for training falcons in the classical, game hawking style. Through well-defined chapters, he establishes the fundamentals of care and handling of captive falcons and legal means of acquiring them. Successful strategies for hawking a wide variety of North American quarry are analyzed and laced with entertaining anecdotes. Time-honored techniques for training wild falcons are restated in modern terms. In addition, the education of imprinted and captive-bred falcons, classes of falcons without historical precedence, is concisely outlined for the reader. In a break with tradition, the author uses North America's only indigenous falcon, the prairie falcon, as the primary subject and promotes it as an outstanding hunting partner." Chapters include: Fundamentals; The prairie falcon; Acquiring a falcon; Preflight for falconers; Training the eyas; Passage prairie falcon; Waiting-on training; Telemetry; Falconry dogs; Small game hawking; Duck hawking; Upland game hawking; Captive breeding. .
