Description: The Skyscraper Falcon takes readers to the fifty-sixth floor to view the remarkable life cycle of the peregrine falcon. In the spring of 1994, a peregrine falcon captured the heart and imaginations of the city of Seattle. This rare, wild bird nested on the fifty-sixth floor of the Washington Mutual tower, a downtown skyscraper. Volunteers from Seattle Peregrine Project set up a video camera, allowing visitors the privilege of watching the entire nesting process. Stewart: the Skyscraper Falcon takes readers to the 56th floor to view the remarkable life cycle of the peregrine falcon. Written for young readers, the author introduces Seattle's newest citizens throughout stunning color photographs and simple, yet full, text. Readers get acquainted with falcon biology and terminology. This book will be treasured by the entire family.
