u003cpu003eu003cbu003eThis extraordinary, poetic portrait of two peregrine falcons is one of the most beloved works of nature writing ever published.u003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eFrom fall to spring, J.A. Baker set out to track the daily comings and goings of a pair of peregrine falcons across the flat fen lands of eastern England. He followed the birds obsessively, observing them in the air and on the ground, in pursuit of their prey, making a kill, eating, and at rest, activities he describes with an extraordinary fusion of precision and poetry. And as he continued his mysterious private quest, his sense of human self slowly dissolved, to be replaced with the alien and implacable consciousness of a hawk.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003e u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eIt is this extraordinary metamorphosis, magical and terrifying, that these beautifully written pages record.u003c/pu003e
