Return of the Peregrine

by Tom J. Cade (Editor), William Burnham (Editor)

The Peregrine Falcon restoration is the largest and most comprehensive endeavor to restore wild populations of an endangered species ever accomplished. This comprehensive, balanced account tells the full story for the first time--with personal anecdotes, scientific perspective, and thoughtful analysis accompanied by nearly 500 photographs and paintings, many with historical significance. Authors include 69 of the biologists, falconers, and other conservationists who shaped the recovery effort, and an "Honor Roll" lists more than 3,000 field personnel who contributed to Peregrine releases, research, and restoration.

[Sharon Stiteler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a perfect book for anyone remotely interested in birds of prey or specifically peregrine falcons. It's a mixture of all the handwork that went into reintroducing peregrines to the wild and even includes some surprising peregrine facts on things found in the nest. Beautiful illustrations and pictures make this a perfect blend of coffee table book with actually something to read.
