Peregrine Spring, Nancy Cowans memoir of her thirty years living intimately with raptors, gives us a new perspective on the relationship between humans and the natural world. Cowan shares her experiences running a world-famous falconry school, and the lessons shes learned from her birds. From retrieving her falcon from the local police lock up, to a heartbreaking race to save her young peregrine from attack by a wild hawk, Cowans life is a constant, ever-changing adventure. Cowans birds have immersed her so much into their world that she has found herself courted by a Goshawk and bossed about by a Harriss Hawk. The book carries her readers along, so they, too, meet hawks and falcons in ways they never imagined possible.
