Haak shares his deep passion for the prairie falcon and its habits in this fascinating story of his journey to understand and record the behaviour of this spirited bird of prey. Haak's rich prose probes intimately into both the life of the birds ass well as the unfolding of his own philosophy and experience of life. Beautifully illustrated with 76 full color photos, Pirates of the Plains is a splendid addition to the aviary studies.

Bruce Haak, a professional wildlife biologist, has been an impassioned falconer for over thirty years. He acquired his first raptor, a kestrel, in 1963 and has never looked back. He did his thesis for his M.S. in Wildlife Science on the foraging ecology of prairie falcons in northern California and conducted field studies on prairie falcons, peregrines, and other raptors, as well as waterfowl and band-tailed pigeons.
