Summary

By 1970 the peregrine falcon was extinct except for two mating couples in California. To prevent their extinction, many people worked to save them. The peregrine falcon is a beautiful animal, and it would truly be sad allow it to become extinct through ignorance or carelessness. This incredible account reveals the life of this amazing bird--how it lived and almost died, and how it was saved. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
