Hi Tweeters,
Kevin's post re Peregrine books made me decide to
post. I am about 3/4's through On the Wing by Alan
Tennant. Great book, this guy would be certified
crazy by more than a few people. It is about the
first tracking of radio tagged Peregrines via a small
Cessna plane piloted by someone Alan convinced to join
him in pursuit of the falcon. Some of things they do
fall outside of the box of legal and make for some
interesting adventures. They tracked one bird north
to Alaska and are now tracking 3 birds south into
Mexico. The Mexican authorities have been more
difficult to deal with than the US and Canadian. All
of the falcons were radio tagged in Texas. He
mentions a lot of the work by the Peregrine Fund.
