"As a species [aplomado falcons] are considered brave and tenacious in the field and will regularly take prey much larger than themselves. In the right hands the Aplomado is a superb hunting falcon ideally suited to falconry. ...With the species being more readily available in Europe now [the author] felt the time was right to share some of this enjoyment with others." Much useful advice to the would-be aplomado owner punctuated with exciting accounts of hunting in Mexico, Brazil, Peru and the UK, for starlings, partridges, cattle egrets, spur winged plovers, caracaras and other species.
