Falconry Magazine front covers by Alan Gates.
Although hunting with eagles has been the most prolific subject of my articles, I have penned a number of articles on hawks, falcons and anything else I have found of interest to me.

I hope you also enjoy some of the hawks, people and places I have had the pleasure to know or visit.

It is my attention to attract fellow guest falconers to include their articles, and I start with one from my good friend Bruce Haak from Idaho, USA.

Plus three stories from Francis Allen, sit down with a cup of your favourite beverage and enjoy.
