Feather Trails
New Insight into Endangered Birds
In an inspiring turn of events, the peregrine falcon, recognized as the world’s fastest bird, is experiencing a remarkable resurgence in North America. This recovery, however, underscores the ongoing challenges facing other endangered species. Wildlife biologist Sophie A. H. Osborn’s latest book, Feather Trails: A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds, sheds light on her extensive work with birds on the brink of extinction, including the Hawaiian crow and California condor. Osborn meticulously chronicles the monumental efforts required to revive these species, highlighting both the successes and hurdles that lie ahead in conservation.
This narrative evokes a mix of hope and concern as we navigate the delicate balance of protecting our avian friends.
