Marcy Houle was a young wildlife biologist observing one of the last remaining pairs—located at a site in southwest Colorado slated for development as a major tourist site. First published in 1991 and winner of several national awards, this book chronicles her work at Chimney Rock along with the recovery of the species. A new preface examines the last thirty years of the peregrine population and its remarkable comeback and culminates with President Barack Obama’s designation of Chimney Rock as a national monument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of New Mexico Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081483469040,"sku":"9780826354358","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780826354358_p0.jpg?v=1769910752","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826354358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
