Flight of the Falcon - Hardcover
There are 60 species of falcon known throughout the world. This bird of prey, with its typical strongly hooked, sharp beak and its sharp, curved talons, has long been recognised for its speed and for the terror it strikes into the hearts of lesser birds. This book explores the history of falconry and includes phototographs and location maps of falcon distribution. One of the disturbing facts dealt with in the book is the threat of extinction hanging over some types of falcons largely as a result of pesticides used by man.
