Download or read book Falconer on the Edge written by Rachel Dickinson and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2009 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel Dickinson profiles falconer Steve Chindgren, a man willing to make extreme sacrifices to continue practicing the sport that has ruled his life. Dickinson arrives at a sense of falconry’s allure: the unpredictable nature of the hunt and the soaring exhilaration of success. Further exploration unveils the enormous emotional cost to a falconer who establishes an extraordinary tie to his birds. When, in the space of two days, Chindgren loses two birds that he’d been training for years, he is plunged into a profound depression that is only deepened when Jomo, his best bird, slows down because of old age. In addition to this challenge, Chindgren faces the danger to falconry that the modern world presents. Grouse habitat is being degraded by mining, agriculture, and gas industry interests. And the number of falconers is dwindling--the corps is graying and has few acolytes. Falconry is a sport that requires persistence, stoicism, and sacrifice; in this captivating account, Dickinson illuminates a fascinating subculture and one of its most hard core personalities.

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
Download or read book The Hawk s Way written by Sy Montgomery and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A splendid and luminous celebration of one of nature’s most perfect and mysterious creatures—the hawk—from the New York Times bestselling author of the “astoundingly beautiful” (NPR) The Soul of an Octopus. When Sy Montgomery went to spend a day at falconer Nancy Cowan’s farm, home to a dozen magnificent birds of prey, it was the start of a deep love affair. Nancy allowed her to work with Jazz, a feisty, four-year-old, female Harris’s hawk with a wingspan of more than four feet. Not a pet, Jazz was a fierce predator with talons that could pierce skin and bone and yet, she was willing to work with a human to hunt. From the first moment Jazz swept down from a tree and landed on Sy’s leather gloved fist, Sy fell under the hawk’s magnetic spell. Over the next few years, Sy spent more time with these magnificent creatures, getting to know their extraordinary abilities and instincts. They are deeply emotional animals, quick to show anger and frustration, and can hold a grudge for years. But they are also loyal and intensely aware of their surroundings. In this mesmerizing account, featuring sixteen pages of gorgeous color photographs, Sy passionately and vividly reveals the wonderous world of hawks and what they can teach us about nature, life, and love.
