This go-to book on peregrine falcons provides a timely, captivating, and educational blend of natural history, science, exhaustive research, and personal reflections on this dynamic raptor. Written by seasoned journalist and longtime raptor monitor Jim Wright, The Peregrine Falcon offers a comprehensive look at the world's fastest creature.

Learn why peregrines live in cities, how they can reach speeds of 200 mph, and why they are so fast and fierce, as well as all the basics of their hunting and nesting habits. Chapters also dive into key moments in peregrine history, including an in-depth look at why they almost went extinct--and how they were saved--plus their recent surge in popularity due to livestreams of peregrine nests around the world. This is a great read for fans of J. A. Baker's classic The Peregrine and Helen Macdonald's modern classic H Is for Hawk.

Key Features:
  • Incredible images of all things peregrine, including many by nature photographer Kevin Watson
  • Foreword by Pete Dunne, the legendary raptor expert
  • A glossary of terms, a bibliography, and suggestions for further reading

Peregrines are the world's most charismatic raptor, and this well-researched compendium explains why these falcons have captured the imagination of so many. If you love peregrines, you must have this book.
