Hello!
I'm Bill Oakes

Welcome to my front door. Here you'll find all my Falconry books. I wrote them for you, the Apprentice Falconer, or the General and even the Master.
I hope you, and your hawk or falcon, will benefit from them. But especially the raptor in your care.
For the well-being of your hawk, and the successful pursuit of Falconry, here's my email LINKScroll Down to see my Falconry Books born of 50 years of following my bliss!


The Falconer's Apprentice

First published in 1993, this training manual has sold consistently every month since then. Thousands of Apprentice Falconers have used it as their first training guide for their first Red-tailed Hawk.


The Beginners' Circle

For nearly 30 years, I wrote a column for American Falconry magazine. It was called the Beginners' Circle. Years later, I brought some of the best articles into a book form.


More of my books on Amazon

I have two more books available now (with one more coming soon).
The Falconer's Logbook is an easy-to-use tool for getting the most out of your training and hunting time.
The Rabbit Hawker's Dogs is the best book around for selecting and training a cottontail and jackrabbit hunting companion. Written by some of the most reknown falconers. Every falconer needs a dog.
