From 1970 to 1999 the American peregrine falcon was on the U.S. endangered species list, and many doubted it would survive. Marcy Cottrell Houle was a young woman wildlife biologist observing one of the last remaining pairs--located at an Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site in southwest Colorado, slated for development as a major tourist site. First published in 1991 and the winner of several national awards, Wings for My Flight chronicles her work at Chimney Rock along with the recovery of the species. In a new afterword, Houle examines the last thirty years of the peregrine population and its remarkable comeback, culminating with President Barack Obama's designation of Chimney Rock as a national monument.
Marcy Cottrell Houle is a wildlife biologist and award-winning author. She is the author of eight books, including The Prairie Keepers: Secrets of the Zumwalt, A Generous Nature, and The Gift of Caring.
