The hawk has the reputation as being one of the most feared and revered birds in the animal kingdom. Here is an opportunity to observe at close quarters the growth and development of this natural predator. It is the story of a hawk bred and raised in captivity by a very dedicated and determined falconer. He patiently guides her maturation so that within a year she attains complete independence and can be released into the wild and in fact survive.
