From fall to spring, J.A. Baker set out to track the daily\ncomings and goings of a pair of peregrine falcons across the flat\nfen lands of eastern England. He followed the birds obsessively,\nobserving them in the air and on the ground, in pursuit of their\nprey, making a kill, eating, and at rest, activities he describes\nwith an extraordinary fusion of precision and poetry. And as he\ncontinued his mysterious private quest, his sense of human self\nslowly dissolved, to be replaced with the alien and implacable\nconsciousness of a hawk. It is this extraordinary metamorphosis,\nmagical and terrifying, that these beautifully written pages\nrecord.
