Summary:

2020: while the world is grounded, Bird arrives in the life of writer, Candida Meyrick, living with her young family on Anglesey. The twelve-week-old Harris Hawk, Sophia Houdini Whitewing - aka Bird - is trained over the following months by the author and her children to be most herself: a skilled hunter and dazzling aerial gymnast, whose flights enrapture the family and set the author on a deepening love affair with life on the wing. Working with her Harris Hawk over the following years reveals a new world: confronting mortality daily, moving through a liminal landscape, part sky-, part earth-bound. And every day's hunting brings a new life-lesson. Bird opens up a way of being that is everything the author most longs to be: courageous, compassionate, independent, full of joy - free as a bird.
