A note from Madeleine: “To research The Peregrine’s Journey: A Story of Migration I talked to peregrine experts, observed peregrines in the wild, and mapped real peregrine migrations tracked by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service using satellite telemetry.
In fall, 2008, Bud Anderson of Falcon Research Group drove his car from Canada to Panama to follow a peregrine falcon on her migration. Bud left a message on my answering machine saying, “You did a great, great job! The Peregrine’s Journey is exactly like it is!”
