Item description from seller

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2016). 2016 1st edition. "Standard Edition." 8vo (155 x 235mm). Pp144. Illustrated with over 100 colour photographs, 20 historical images, and colour illustrations by John D. Baker, John P. Baumlin, Andrew Ellis, Hans J. Peeters, and Mark Upton. Stone cloth, spine titled in black. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper - signed by the author. "Beach Bird documents the development of falconry as a hunting sport in America, and focuses on the use of passage peregrines that started in the 1940s. Both the innovative techniques that were used to capture northern peregrines along their coastal migration routes, and the innovators who pioneered autumn beach trapping as a source of birds for falconers, are discussed. The author was one of the fortunate few to capture and train migrant peregrines for hunting in recent times. Armed with advantages that his mentors did not have, like radio-telemetry for recovering lost falcons, Bruce Haak tested the ability of these special falcons on a variety of quarry. His cross-continent journeys to trap falcons on both the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, and his pursuit of upland game birds and waterfowl in varying habitats, are the makings of an epic outdoor adventure." .…
