falconryFalconry

Falconry is really a glorified form of bird worship. Men devoted to this fascinating sport hold a falcon in a light in which few others visualize. All of the noble attributes which man has recognized and admired through the ages - beauty, power, speed, intelligence and courage - are to be found in the Peregrine falcon. Its spell has enthralled the great men of many centuries. Little wonder that falconry has survived from time immemorial as the oldest sport of man. Though never spectacular, the growth of falconry in Americas has been steady, however slow. Each year finds an ever-increasing number of devoted fans carrying on the traditions of the pastime. Unlike so many fads in this country which suddenly soar to popularity and fade as quickly, the followers of the sport are men and women who love it earnestly and continue to carry on in spite of the numerous handicaps confronting them.
