Customer Reviews The Rites of Autumn - Engaging! Rating (5) Date: 2002-04-22 Dan O'Brien has a keen respect for and love of nature. His desire to protect and preserve peregrine falcons not only is told in an interesting way, but with a desire to teach others a respect for the importance of letting nature teach us. There are funny and interesting tales of his relationships with his hunting dogs and a peregrine falcon, as he trains a wild falcon to hunt and soar, with the hopes of releasing it in the wild after a migration from the Black Hills of South Dakota to the Gulf of Mexico. Dan writes with the ability to hold your interest. You'll want to keep reading! This is a "good read". Wonderful! Rating (4) Date: 1999-06-16 14 out of 14 customers found this reveiw helpful If you are interested in falconry at all, this is a MUST READ! The story takes you from the hack site to the beaches of Texas. I ordered this book for my boyfriend (now husband!) many years ago based on a review that I read in Sports Illustrated. I recently read it again and it was better the second time around (maybe because I know more about falcons, falconry and especially falconers than I did before!). It is a great story, it wont take you long to read and anyone who has ever loved a bird and let it go will really appreciate it! Retail Price: $9.95 Our Price:$2.20 That's 78% Off!
