The Art of Hawk-Watching: Finding, Enjoying and Understanding Birds of Prey

Joe Roy III is a professional falconer/lecturer with decades of experience. He is currently employed as the Resident Falconer at the coastal resort, Terranea, in southern California. Joe and his birds have been featured in newsprint, magazines, television and on the internet (where CNN Money dubbed him the ?Falcon Whisperer?). Joe?s interest in birds of prey spans a lifetime, having been sparked when he was as a young boy after becoming acquainted with a professional falconer living next-door. This generous neighbor began patiently teaching Joe the intricacies of the ancient craft of falconry. Joe has subsequently trained and hunted with a wide variety of birds of prey, as well as having trained hundreds of captive bred falcons. Today, Joe is internationally recognized as a raptor expert, whose books and articles have been circulated around the globe. Safe to say, Joe?s childhood passion for raptors is alive and well, and he takes great pleasure in teaching others about these amazing creatures, all the while enthusiastically promoting a raptor conservation ethos.
