Summary

How many different species of falcon are there? When were peregrines first used for hunting? How fast can a peregrine fly? Peregrine Falcon answers these and other questions, including the wonderful question of how these birds were stopped from going down the road to extinction. Often, the increasing human population and its expanding cities crowd out wildlife. In this book you will learn how big cities played a role in helping these birds.
