| Publisher Description: Now in paperback -A New York Times eBook bestseller -Winner of the Best Book of 2016, New England Outdoor Writers Association -Foreword by bestselling authors Sy Montgomery and Elizabeth Marshall Thomas -85 million people in the U.S. are interested in birds and birding. Peregrine Spring gives readers a new perspective on the relationship between humans and the natural world. Cowan's raptors have immersed her so much into their world that she has found herself courted by a Goshawk and bossed about by a Harris' Hawk. The book carries her readers along, so they, too, meet hawks and falcons in ways they never imagined possible. Nancy Cowan is a master falconer, wildlife rescue expert, and award-winning writer. She and her husband founded the internationally-known New Hampshire School of Falconry. |
