THE HAWK'S WAY: Encounters with Fierce Beauty

When Sy 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.

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. 16 pages of color photos.
