Book Synopsis Desert Hawking II Updated by : Harry McElroy
Download or read book Desert Hawking II Updated written by Harry McElroy. This book was released on 2014-09-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desert Hawking II is a classic among falconry books, one you don't want to live without. The book enjoys many ground-breaking claims to fame. It is the first American book written by an avid falconer, Harry McElroy, who has succeeded with many raptor species and who hunts every day. Other firsts include treating quail as a primary quarry and the Cooper's hawk as a manageable, useful hunting hawk. Desert Hawking II popularized the Harris's hawk in American falconry and introduced it to the rest of the world. Finally, Kenneth Tuttle's chapter debuted the Sharp-shinned hawk. This updated, expanded masterpiece is even better than the original because its coverage now includes another desert hawk, the goshawk, and new guest contributions by Greg and Jamaica Smith.

Book Synopsis A Rage for Falcons by : Stephen Bodio
Download or read book A Rage for Falcons written by Stephen Bodio. This book was released on 2015-10-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thus begins the tale by Stephen Bodio, a lover of birds and nature, of the incredible connection between man and birds of prey. Falconry can be traced back over four thousand years and, as Bodio says, “it is amazing that the practice did not die out soon afterward when its first adherents starved.” With a new introduction by Helen MacDonald, A Rage For Falcons not only shares the history of falconry, but shows the personal side in a way only Bodio can share. With masterful prose and breathtaking imagery, you not only understand how falconry has lasted, but why. As Bodio so appropriately notes in his introduction: “To understand falconry, you must understand the nature of the relationship between man and bird.” In A Rage For Falcons, Bodio explores this incredible relationship and how it has affected him as a person. Never has such a personal touch been put on a sport that has lasted generations, which many people still do not have a grasp of. That’s what makes Bodio so great. While his words may not convince you to take up the sport, will certainly open your eyes to appreciate a world unlike any other.
