Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A showdown ensues between a bird of prey and a barnyard rooster in this masterpiece of nature fiction from the author of The Fox and the Hound. Whitehackle comes from a long line of fighting cocks, but exceeds expectations as he rises to the top of the pecking order. His reputation grows when he chases off a fox and attacks a hawk in gallant defense of one his hens. The arrogant rooster is now king of the barnyard, but the hawk still circles above. A female Cooper's hawk, Ishmael, has few natural enemies. Life itself is her greatest foe-and survive she must, to mate and nest and raise her young. Even a gunshot can't stop this courageous bird-yet she may have met her match in Whitehackle. The day-to-day life of hawk and rooster collide in a fragile environment encroached upon by modern forces in a story of predation-both animal and human."A very compelling tale. Mannix, who has spent most of his life near and with animals, treads it with a sure foot and a clear-eyed unsentimental approach. Like the nature he writes about, he makes no apologies and asks no special indulgence-and he writes a very readable book." -Sports Illustrated "Mannix shifts back and forth between natural enemies, dramatizing but not fictionalizing their life experiences in thoroughly entertaining information writing. He's combined a mass of wild bird lore with a coopful of material on the complex social structure and behavior patterns of domestic poultry. Bet your nestegg on it." -Kirkus Reviews This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
