Taking Flight: The Peregrine Falcons Of Mayo Clinic

Your creativity will soar through coloring and other activities as you discover how the peregrine falcon is a force of nature - and healing - at Mayo Clinic.

Far above the floors where patients receive care, a nest box atop a 20-story building in Rochester, Minnesota, has been home to generations of peregrine falcons. Established in 1987 as part of the national effort to save the endangered species, the Mayo Clinic Peregrine Falcon Program embodies the organization's foundational idea that embracing nature can be a vital part of the healing process. Every spring, patients, staff, and millions of fans watching via the livestream Falcon Cam follow the birds as they lay their eggs, hatch from their shells, and learn to fly.

Now, wildlife lovers of all ages will have fun learning all about the fastest animal earth through coloring pages, activities and surprising facts that bring falcons like Epic, Hawkeye, and Blizzard to life. Printed on high quality paper ready to enhance with colored pencils, markers, or watercolors, each page is perforated for easy removal and display. With essays highlighting the science and history of the program, stories of the birds' triumphs and challenges, and a board game following their migration across the Americas, Taking Flight: The Peregrine Falcons of Mayo Clinic is more than just a coloring book; it's a tribute to the resilience of the birds who inspired it.
