""The story of the near-extinction of the American Peregrine Falcon, and the fight to save it against tremendous odds." . . ."Forty years ago, the peregrine falcon was on the U.S. endangered species list and many doubted that it would survive. Marcy Houle was a young wildlife biologist observing one of the last remaining pairs--located at a site in southwest Colorado slated for development as a major tourist site. First published in 1991 and winner of several national awards, this book chronicles her work at Chimney Rock along with the recovery of the species. A new preface examines the last thirty years of the peregrine population and its remarkable comeback and culminates with President Barack Obama's designation of Chimney Rock as a national monument." --Publisher's descriptions."
"Two young peregrine falcons are observed by two wildlife biologists for the State--whose assignment is to protect them."
