Some interesting history on the peregrine falcon recovery effort.

It's always good to remember those who awakened both the general public and the scientists to the effects of DDT on the environment, particularly raptors. pfalcon Every time I go to Hawk Mountain in PA and see the photos of hunters knee deep in dead migrating raptors, I remember other scientists and conservationists who helped bring an end to the slaughter.
