Well balanced information October 13, 2008

A great first book to introduce the reader to falconry. Oakes does an excellent job teaching the reader how rewarding training a red tailed hawk is, while being very clear that they will be spending many hours every single day with the bird for at least a few months. He gives detailed information about the gear and housing requrements to prevent someone from trapping a hawk if they don't have the necissary equipment.
It has made me want to become a falconer ever more, but I have realized that I am at least a year away from having the time to dedicate to the project. I trust everyone who reads this book will spend a lot of time preparing for the day that they become a flaconer.

For a beginner, this book was great. There are no fine color pictures in the book, and this book gives some good info on falconry equipment and training. Worth the buy for the money.

There are fewer things more beautiful than a falcon in flight. This beautiful, majestic bird is the epitome of grace and speed.
This book is a good beginner's guide to catching, training and working with falcons and enjoying the world through their very keen and penetrating eyes.

Excellent book for those who are interested in learning more about falconry or those who are just starting out with their first passage Red Tailed Hawk. William Oakes presents his material in a very easy to understand manner for the new apprentice, and as one reads his book, it is very evident that he has a very strong respect and love for these beautiful, majestic birds. A must read for anyone interested in learning more about falconry and raptors!
