"In Falconry Reflections, Bob Dalton recalls thirty full and satisfying years working with birds of prey. He explains how he has steadily built up his falconry skills through training a wide range of raptors, and increased his understanding of these magnificent birds. Bob's career has involved him in bird control work for a U.S. Air Force base, clearing starlings from an Austrian vineyard, hawking in America, and working with TV crews. Includes detailed descriptions of his work with birds such as prairie falcons, merlins, kestrels, peregrine falcons, shaheens, harris' hawks and saker falcons." This book also contains good pratical information of training and management.
