Peregrine Spring: A Master Falconer's Extraordinary Life with Birds of Prey

New York Times Bestseller
Best Book of 2016, New England Outdoor Writers Association

Peregrine Spring, Nancy Cowanâ€™s 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 she's learned from her birds. From retrieving her falcon from the local police â€œlock up,â€ to finding her husband in bed with a gyrfalcon, to a heart-breaking race to save her young peregrine from attack by a wild hawk, Cowanâ€™s life is a constant, ever-changing adventure. Cowanâ€™s birds have immersed her so much into their world that she has found herself courted by a Goshawk and bossed about by a Harrisâ€™ Hawk. The book carries her readers along, so they, too, meet hawks and falcons in ways they never imagined possible.
