A splendid and luminous celebration of one of nature's most perfect
and mysterious creatures-the hawk-from the New York Times
bestselling author of the "astoundingly beautiful" (NPR) The Soul
of an Octopus. When Sy Montgomery went to spend a day at falconer
Nancy Cowan's farm, home to a dozen magnificent birds of prey, it
was the start of a deep love affair. Nancy allowed her to work with
Jazz, a feisty, four-year-old, female Harris's hawk with a wingspan
of more than four feet. Not a pet, Jazz was a fierce predator with
talons that could pierce skin and bone and yet, she was willing to
work with a human to hunt. From the first moment Jazz swept down
from a tree and landed on Sy's leather gloved fist, Sy fell under
the hawk's magnetic spell. Over the next few years, Sy spent more
time with these magnificent creatures, getting to know their
extraordinary abilities and instincts. They are deeply emotional
animals, quick to show anger and frustration, and can hold a grudge
for years. But they are also loyal and intensely aware of their
surroundings. In this mesmerizing account, featuring sixteen pages
of gorgeous color photographs, Sy passionately and vividly reveals
the wonderous world of hawks and what they can teach us about
nature, life, and love.
