A NEW BOOK- THE RED TAIL HAWK, THE GREAT UNKNOWN

English edition, by Beatriz E. Candil Garcia.

This book is the most complete study up to date on the Buteo jamaicensis or Red-tailed Hawk. It provides all the necessary information for getting to know in depth this extraordinary and beautiful bird of prey, though popular amongst falconers in the USA and UK, in Spain and many parts of Europe, still continues to be a “great unknown”. The reader will be able to learn about the biology and habits of this species and all required for the practice of falconry, including training and hunting, with this raptor. Additionally, the book includes information on health and well-being, diet, equipment, mews, etc., as well as many useful articles and contributions by some of the most well-known falconers in USA and Europe, on hunting with red-tailed Hawks. It is ideal not only for aspiring falconers or novices, but also the most expert of falconers who will find its contents of great use and value.

This book won the annual “British Print Design and Production Award” in the UK the year of its publication, 2004 as best digital book.

“One has to possess great knowledge of a species in order to write and dedicate an entire book exclusively to it and the author clearly shows it”

Eduardo Razola, legal adviser, Executive Board, Spanish Association of Falconry and Conservation of Birds of Prey (AECCA)
