"This extensive work represents a nuts-and-bolts approach to training and flying kestrels...A must-have for all apprentices and others who wish to know more about the intricacies of maintaining and flying a small raptor such as the American Kestrel." --Publisher's description.

A book/dvd combination title designed to provide all the information needed by a beginning falconer when starting to train a new hawk. It is written by a falconer who has trained 100s of falconers in both the USA and UK and has trained virtually every type of hawk. The author also flies hawks and falcons for bird abatement at airports and other public areas.

Ospreys in Falconry: Lessons Learned is a book detailing one falconer's attempts at keeping ospreys healthy and flying them as successful falconry birds. After experience with several birds, the authors describe husbandry and falconry training techniques which are tailored specifically for ospreys--a bird with a reputation for being difficult to care for and impossible to succeed with as a falconer's hunting partner. Well, fishing partner.

A Falconry Manual is a comprehensive, extensively updated version of his out of print book- Hawks, Falcons and Falconry (Hancock House 1976) and The Compleat Falconer (Hancock House 1992). Drawing on over 50 years of field experience and research, Beebe presents an exhaustive summary of the behavior, capture, and training of the-birds-of-prey. It was Beebe's field studies and practical experience that led to his pioneering successes in breeding captive falcons in the early 1960s. His artistic talents not only contribute to the concise illustrations on how to capture and train birds but how to easily make all falconry hardware. One of the all-time best books for new Apprentices to learn about training a new hawk or falcon and one of the best selling falconry books ever produced.
