About this book

Language: German

Reports by medieval falconers established the reputation of the saker falcon as a daring, highly prized courting bird. Whether these superlatives stand up to analysis from today's perspective is examined in this volume by an excellent falcon expert.

Almost two decades of experience with this representative of the hunting falcons, which also occurs in Europe, allows the author to provide a profound account that is unique in its form.

Of particular note is the attempt to explore the nature of the saker falcon and its place in the biological system. This book plays a key role in understanding concepts such as hunting range, functional position, range of forms, and species, so that not only experts in birds of prey and falconers but also readers with a general interest in biology will find something to their liking.

Summary in German:
Berichte mittelalterlicher Falkner begründeten den Ruf des Sakerfalken als tollkühnen, hoch zu schätzenden Balzvogel. Ob diese Superlative einer Analyse aus heutiger Sicht standhalten können, wird im vorliegenden Band von einem exzellenten Falkenkenner untersucht.

Fast zwei Jahrzehnte zurückreichende Erfahrungen mit diesem auch in Europa vorkommenden Vertreter der Jagdfalken ermöglichen dem Autor eine tiefgründige Darstellung, die in dieser Form einmalig ist.

Besonders erwähnt werden muß der Versuch, das Wesen des Sakerfalken und seinen Platz im biologischen Wirkungsgefüge zu ergründen. Er nimmt eine Schlüsselstellung für das Verständnis solcher Begriffe wie Jagdraum, funktionelle Position, Formenkreis und Art ein, so daß neben Greifvogelkennern und Falknern auch allgemeinbiologisch interessierte Leser auf ihre Kosten kommen.
