Beach Bird: Renaissance Falconry With Passage Peregrine Falcons

Author: Bruce Haak

Brief Description:

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 costal migration routes, and the innovators who pioneered autumn beach trapping as a source of birds for falconers, are discussed.
