Download or read book A Rage for Falcons written by Stephen Bodio and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 144 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time under one cover, the author has assembled the results of the renewed interest, extensive experimentation, and technological progress that have advanced falconry over the past three decades. The Hunting Falcon is a fresh approach to the sport of falconry. For the first time under one cover, the author has assembled the results of the renewed interest, extensive experimentation, and technological progress that have advanced falconry over the past three decades. 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 and informative 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. His training philosophy and comments on the use of radiotelemetry are added enrichment's to the text.

Download or read book The Art of Falconry by Frederick II of Hohenstaufen written by Frederick II (Holy Roman Emperor) and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1961 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Arte Venandi cum Avibus was written shortly before the year 1250 by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Sicily and Jerusalem, in whose court, with its remarkably cosmopolitan and highly intellectual life, may be found the real beginning of the Italian Renaissance. In spite of its title, it is far more than a dissertation on hunting. There is a lengthy introduction dealing with the anatomy of birds, an intensely interesting description of avian habits, and the excursions of migratory birds. Indeed, this ancient book has long been recognized as the first zoological treatise written in the critical spirit of modern science. The sumptuous volume now in hand is, however, the first translation into English of the complete text, originally divided into a prologue and size books. Together, the translators and editors, have at last made available this classic work and have adorned it with notes, comments, bibliographies, and glossary. They have produced a work of great value to zoologists--especially the ornithologist--and also to everyone interested in the history of science and in medieval art and letters.

Download or read book The Compleat Falconer written by Frank Lyman Beebe and published by Surrey, B.C. : Hancock House. This book was released on 1992 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A veritable how-to of Frank Beebe's lifetime experience. Included are plates of 32 original paintings and more that 100 illustrations and drawings. What is Falconry? Really it is just bird watching, although a rather dramatic, specialized, glamorized, and historical kind of bird watching. It involves the taking of a predatory bird into the same kind of familiar, loosely controlled relationship with man as is so well known and so commonplace with a dog or a horse; then, with the relationship established, going out hunting in the company of that predatory bird in a partnership in which the bird is the primary hunter and the human plays the lesser part. The human becomes a bird watcher or, if involved, in the menial capacity of a bird dog to flush quarry or as an assistant in subduing quarry already taken. It is an ancient, honorable, and rather humbling relationship, as old in time as that of man and dog or man and horse. With the exception of eagles, most of the birds involved are smaller than the most ordinary house cat or Pekinese dog and are about as dangerous to people. They are accordingly much less dangerous than any ordinary-sized dog and infinitely less dangerous than is the smallest pony. Their acquisition and their use, therefore, needs no more in the way of imposed control than does the keeping of the most inoffensive dog or cat. This book is about falconry. It deals with the acquiring and the care, control, and training of the kinds of raptorial birds most suited to this ancient relationship and also, as far as is now possible, describes and identifies the birds of falconry. Of the determined and devious twenty-year efforts, extending from 1964 to 1987, by nature preservationist groups and government agencies to control, constrain, institutionalize, and finally to simply criminalize falconry, this book will contain only enough to orient a newcomer. Some of this had to be included, somewhat reluctantly; it is highly condensed and closely edited to allow some comprehension of why and how contemporary falconry has become so different from its traditional past as to require a new book with quite different priorities and orientation than heretofore. The training procedures I propose in this book differ significantly from the traditional procedures reiterated in all previous books on falconry and are especially oriented toward the training of these domestic hawks and falcons. Because they are essentially man made, these birds come to the falconer not only devoid of fear and of hunting experience but also devoid of those subtle disciplines imposed by natural selection with which the traditional procedures were, by trial and error, so perfected to cope.

Book excerpt: A Bond With The Wild celebrates North American falconry in an unprecedented way. Rather than describing the techniques of falconry, the two dozen writers explore the falconer's passion for hawks and falcons, the quarry, the land, the chase, the ecology, their families and even their mishaps, The writers have created the first anthology of falconry prose that includes humor, satire, fiction, stories, personal experiences and hunting sketches. This falconry panorama begins with author Tim Cahill and his outsider's view of falconers, and closes with a wild peregrine falcon story by Dan O'Brien, the falconer and award-winning fiction author of Eminent Domain and Spirit Of The Hills. Between Cahill and O'Brien you will fly to many of North American falconry's exotic locations. Journey to capture peregrine falcons on the beach of Assateague Island, lure hawks on Pennsylvania's Hawk Mountain, pursue goshawks in the north woods, chase quarry in midwestern suburbia, fly falcons over the vast Canadian plains, climb the Rocky Mountains, pursue sage grouse on Idaho's black lava desert, trace an explosive Cooper's hawk in the southwest desert brush, and sense the chill of the Alaskan wind. After reading this book, you will understand why modern adventurers still pursue this ancient sport - falconry. A Bond With The Wild was published by the North American Falconers' Association (NAFA), which includes United States, Canadian and Mexican membership. NAFA is the only nationwide falconry organization in these countries. NAFA has been dedicated to improving, assisting and encouraging competency in the art and enjoyment of the practice of falconry since its inception in 1961. Throughout its history, NAFA has sought to encourage traditions which would aid, perpetuate and further the welfare of the sport and the raptors - birds of prey - this sport employs. In addition, as a nonprofit fraternal organization, NAFA has been at the vanguard in promoting scientific study of raptorial species, their care, welfare, captive breeding and training. Further, NAFA has supported re-introduction efforts, as well as the promotion and appreciation of the value of raptors in nature and in wildlife conservation programs. No, falconry is not dead. In fact, it is practiced legally, efficiently and with tremendous pride throughout North America. Although twentieth-century life has become self-absorbed with technology and modernism, men and women continue to hunt with their birds and have what can only be termed as "just plain fun" with the outdoors and nature.A Bond With The Wildpublished by North American Falconers' Associationwww.n-a-f-a.com
