Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations, bibliography. Pictorial blue blind-stamped boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Slight use, very good in slightly used 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."

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2016). 2016 1st edition. "Collector's 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. Dark blue bonded leather, spine & upper board titled & decorated in gilt. Fine copy - inscribed by the author "To Stuart, Best hawking wishes, Bruce Haak," and numbered "29 - BAH." Laid in is a loose b&w print of a falcon's head (#29/100) by John P. Baumlin. "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." .
