Miss that Red-footed Falcon , Pink-footed Goose , or Brown-chested Martin and we won’t let a dance partner catch us as we sort of do a pseudo fall, but we will have “dipped” Mention that you were “pishing” to a non-birder and they might give you a dirty look.

There are probably more identification guides about raptors than there are for any other bird group. This is a second edition that has been rewritten, updated, and re-invented, and it will doubtlessly become the hawk identification bible of our birding era.
