The Killers: The Tale of a Fighting Cock and a Wild Hawk by Daniel P. Mannix
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.1 MB
Overview: A showdown ensues between a bird of prey and a barnyard rooster in this masterpiece of nature fiction from the author of The Fox and the Hound.

Whitehackle comes from a long line of fighting cocks, but exceeds expectations as he rises to the top of the pecking order. His reputation grows when he chases off a fox and attacks a hawk in gallant defense of one his hens. The arrogant rooster is now king of the barnyard, but the hawk still circles above . . .

A female Cooper’s hawk, Ishmael, has few natural enemies. Life itself is her greatest foe—and survive she must, to mate and nest and raise her young. Even a gunshot can’t stop this courageous bird—yet she may have met her match in Whitehackle . . .

The day-to-day life of hawk and rooster collide in a fragile environment encroached upon by modern forces in a story of predation—both animal and human.
