Synopsis
Marcy Cottrell Houle spent four and a half months atop a mountian peak watching a family of highly endangered wild peregrine falcons. Their survival in the face of an unforgiving Mother Nature, an ever expanding human sprawl, and the local townspeople's hostility makes dramatic and moving reading--certain to become a classic of fine nature writing.

Review
“Blends adventure, romance, humor and pathos. . . . Offers vivid descriptions of her sky-diving subjects and the seductive beauty of the wilderness.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“Well crafted and compelling, a dramatization of the classic conflict between the legitimate interests of conservationists and developers. This is a fine book on several levels, as science, sociology, or a story. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal
