Eye to Eye With Eagles Hawks and Falcons

by Glenn Stewart

Eye to Eye with Eagles Hawks and Falcons is a behind-the-scenes account of intimate experiences with birds of prey across the American West. A curiosity about the ancient art of falconry ignites a passion for the birds fueling a career-long dedication to their welfare. The reader shares adventures capturing wild falcons and eagles, and fostering young raptors to wild independence as part of conservation biology research and population recovery. The venues are Alaska, Canada, the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains, Coastal California, and the Desert Southwest. Flights by falconry birds give us a peek at the visceral relationship between predator and prey, playing out every day just beyond our awareness in wild nature. Taken together, this collection of stories tells of a life lived in the company of some of nature’s most iconic birds.
