This week, we fly high and learn about about Chicago's Peregrine Falcon population! We visited the field museum to sit down with Mary Hennen, the Director of the Chicago Peregrine Program. Mary spoke to us all about falcons, her work fostering the falcon population, and the importance of conservation. She also gave us a backstage tour of the Field Museum that included several birds and thousands of beetles.If you want to learn more about Chicago's Peregrine population, check out the Field Museum's website: www.fieldmuseum.org/science/special-projects/illinois-peregrinesYou can also find them at: www.facebook.com/IllinoisPeregrines/(Note: In my excitement/nervousness, throughout the episode I refer to the Peregrine Program as the Peregrine "Project." A thousand apologies to Mary, and to all the other folks that make the Program happen! - ST)
