will contain about 600 different annotated items. The smaller catalog
that was sent to me listed about 37 different book titles and a large
list of back issues of NAFA Journals and Hawk Chalks. Some of these
back issues dated back to 1965. Others were dated all the way up to
1994.

EagleWing Publishing is run an owned by William Oakes. William Oakes
is the author of "A Falconer's Apprentice," an excellent book that
offers a step by step guide to the new apprentice training his/her
first Red-tailed hawk. He has also written "The Falconer's Log Book,"
which is a companion to "A Falconer's Apprentice." The Falconer's
Log Book gives you a place to record your bird's weight, performance,
and climate conditions etc. so that you can better monitor your bird
through out the season, and it makes it easier to find your bird's
flying weight. William also publishes a topical index of all articles
published by national falconry organizations since 1941. The book is
organized by subject.
