Specially outfitted in a Sperber motorglider, which allowed slow, sustained highly maneuverable flying, author Bill Welch and his colleagues followed the hawks on their East Coast migrations, riding the same thermals as the raptors, and making detailed observations never before possible of hawk flight and navigation. With over 35 black-and-white photos and charts, HAWKS AT MY WINGTIP is a detailed and fascinating look at the worlds of bird-watching and high-performance flying. Both written and photographic accounts of these flights capture a feeling of what it is like to soar with nothing but wind under your wings.
