Als in Amerika vor Jahren das Insektengift DDT zum Einsatz kam, um die Ernteerträge zu steigern, wurde nicht bedacht, daß die Tierwelt darunter leiden würde. Viele Arten, auch der Wanderfalke, starben fast aus. Dan O'Brian, der sich als Biologe für die Rettung von bedrohten Tierarten einsetzt, berichtet in seinem Buch, wie er mit einem Jungfalken, den er eines Tages der Wildnis zurückgeben will, durch den Westen Amerikas zieht. Seine Reise führt ihn von den Rocky Mountains im Norden Montanas, wo die wilden Falken früher ihren Herbstzug begannen, bis an die Küste von Texas.
