Fierce, bold, and beautiful, falcons hold a special place in the hearts of people. In Falcons of North America, renowned raptor advocate and environmental educator Kate Davis opens a door into the lives of these extraordinary, often imperiled birds of prey. With contagious enthusiasm, Davis details the lives of North America’s six species of true falcons — American Kestrel, Merlin, Aplomado Falcon, Prairie Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, and Gyrfalcon.
“Kate used her experience as a falconer, researcher, rehabilitator, educator, conservationist, and artist to give us an insight into how falcons live and their relationships with humankind, ” writes William S. (Bill) Clark, author of The Peterson Field Guide to Hawks of North America.
More than 200 stunning color photographs by award-winning wildlife photographers Rob Palmer and Nick Dunlop, 13 illustrations by the author, and range maps for each species make Falcons of North America not only a valuable addition to any bird lover’s library, but also a collection of great art.
