In Peregrine Spring, local author Nancy Cowan writes about her many decades of experience working with a variety of birds of prey.
"Nancy Cowan’s memoir of her thirty years living intimately with raptors, gives us a new perspective on the relationship between humans and the natural world. Cowan shares her experiences running a world-famous falconry school, and the lessons she's learned from her birds. From retrieving her falcon from the local police “lock up,” to finding her husband in bed with a gyrfalcon, to a heart-breaking race to save her young peregrine from attack by a wild hawk, Cowan’s life is a constant, ever-changing adventure. Cowan’s birds have immersed her so much into their world that she has found herself courted by a Goshawk and bossed about by a Harris’ Hawk. The book carries her readers along, so they, too, meet hawks and falcons in ways they never imagined possible." -Amazon.com

She spearheaded a campaign to win legalization for falconry in the state of New Hampshire, and founded the internationally-known New Hampshire School of Falconry with her husband. Cowan has also written for DogWorld, Yankee Magazine, DOGFANCY, and Down East magazine.
