Falcons and Hawks (Great Creatures of the World)

by Penny Olsen

The falcons, hawks and other birds of prey in this book live on all continents except Antarctica. Wherever they are seen by humans, we are fascinated by them: their beauty in flight, their speed in capturing prey.In this book we look at where they live, the type of food they catch, how they find a mate and raise their chicks with care. We learn about falconry, the sport of kings. And we are encouraged by scientists to protect these beautiful creatures...
