The Harrier Hawk
The Hamerstroms also conducted a decades-long study of the northern harrier, that resulted in Harrier: Hawk of the Marshes, published in 1986 by the Smithsonian Institution Press, and documented the relationship of the breeding success of harriers and their cyclical food supply. Frances Hamerstrom was a licensed falconer, studied American kestrels and the use of nest boxes as a management tool for kestrels, and banded thousands of raptors in Wisconsin and in other parts of North America during her many travels, and in 1969 was a contributor to the book Peregrine Falcon Populations: Their Biology and Decline.

Famous quotes containing the word hawk:
“Time is bearing another son.
Kill Time! She turns in her pain!
The oak is felled in the acorn
And the hawk in the egg kills the wren.”
