Illegally plucked from her nest when only a month old to be trained for falconry, Merak is two when finally released. She isn't used to foraging for herself, however, and wanders into a nearby town. As Peri McQuay quickly learns, this human-imprinted hawk is not quite ready for the wild. As Merak's caretakers, the McQuays try to coax the bird to independence. In journal form, Peri McQuay writes about her life with Merak, relating the hawk's antics -- chasing a garden hose that looks like a snake, rearing up to magnificent size to threaten a house cat -- and her difficulties. McQuay becomes increasingly attached even as she hopes that Merak will become fully wild again. This unusual book about a little-known topic testifies to the powerful connections between humans and animals. Media > Book<
