I am not as much of a Peregrine nut as you but if both Texas and Florida open up...?

As an aside, I too greatly admire Helen MacDonald. I've talked to falconers who trapped peregrines on Padre Island, Texas, in the 1960s and to this day they can remember with absolute clarity the thrill and details of flying a wild peregrine for a season. I'm looking forward to reading your book when it comes out. Nice post, Rebecca. As an aside, I too greatly admire Helen MacDonald.

I'm planning on going into the Texas draw, hopefully in 6 months I'll have a beech bird! Looks like 1 state in each flyway may pull off a 2009 take. Awesome post, makes me want one all the more.

I had no idea - I feel ashamed I didn't know the plight of the falconer. Thank you for enlightening me! What an amazing and fascinating history.
