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. .
