In Search of the Falcon's Clever Cousin
Naturalist Jonathan Meiburg turns his attention to the caracara, a striking and little-known bird of prey related to falcons, tracing its nine living species across the Americas and delving into its unusual intelligence and social behaviour.
Blending fieldwork, natural history and the accounts of earlier travellers and scientists, Meiburg builds a portrait of a bird that is bold, curious and, in his telling, genuinely remarkable, while considering what its future looks like in a changing world.
A good fit for readers of narrative nature writing who enjoy a single animal used as a window onto bigger questions about evolution and the natural world.
