The top picture book about peregrine falcons returns in a new
paperback edition with an expanded Author's Note. High in the sky,
two peregrine falcons swoop and dive. The pair doesn't know it yet,
but they will lose most of this year's eggs: the first clutch to a
volunteer scaling the cliff, and the next to the harmful effects of
DDT. Told against the backdrop of scientists' efforts to understand
the raptors' decline in the wild, this illustrated nonfiction book
tells the story of several generations of falcons as they're taken
to a sanctuary, reintegrated into the wild, and ultimately
relocated to the ledge of a city skyscraper. With dynamic oil
illustrations, author and wildlife artist Celia Godkin effortlessly
captures the detail of the falcons and brings to life the different
landscapes they inhabit. Skydiver will delight and inform readers
with a passion for species preservation, as it documents the
struggles and the eventual success of the efforts to save the
fastest bird in the world. Skydiver will delight and inform readers
