The falcons, hawks and other birds of prey in this book live on all continents except Antarctica. Wherever they are seen by humans, we are fascinated by them: their beauty in flight, their speed in capturing prey.In this book we look at where they live, the type of food they catch, how they find a mate and raise their chicks with care. We learn about falconry, the sport of kings. And we are encouraged by scientists to protect these beautiful creatures and their habitats.
