This story recounts the author's experiences while protecting and studying nesting peregrine falcons at Chimney Rock, Colorado in the mid-'70's. "Just out of college, Marcy Houle was hired to live high in the Coloarado hills and observe a nest of peregrine falcons. A species rapidly dwindling in America, and on the endangered list. How much wilderness had to be left untouched, and what to do about the development of a major tourist site, depended on the young biologist's report."
