Stoop to Target. A falconer never "tosses" his peregrine, like an eagle or goshawk, directly at escaping game. The bird "waits on" aloft, circling patiently 300 ft. to 400 ft. above its master.

"Papa" and "Hotch" got along so well together that Papa gave his friend the right to adapt some of his novels and short stories for movies and TV.
