On The Wing: To the Edge of the Earth with the Peregrine Falcon by Alan Tennant

$20.95

2004, by Alan Tennant, Soft cover, 303 pp.

SKU: BV375 Category: Books
  • Description

Description

In this extraordinary narrative, a passionate observer of nature recounts his all-out effort to radio-track the transcontinental migration of the Peregrine Falcon, an investigation no one before him had ever taken to such lengths.

On the Wing transports us from the windswept flats of the Texas barrier islands, where the tundra falcons pause during their springtime journey north to the Arctic, and then south, through Mexico, Belize, and into the Caribbean, in a hilariously picaresque and bumpy flight.

At the helm is Tennant’s partner in falcon-chasing, George Vose, a septuagenarian World War II vet who trusts his instincts as much as his instruments. As the two men nearly lose their lives and run afoul of the law in the race to keep their birds in view and their rattletrap Cessna gassed up and running, Tennant renders with gorgeous precision and skill the landscape and wildlife they pass on the way and the falcons that direct their course.
