Flight Lessons: A Folk Opera by Deborah Crooks
"Flight Lessons examines the lives of Peregrine Falcons in an urban setting, focusing on their breeding pair on the Fruitvale Bridge and the impact of human activities on their survival."
"The narrative poses critical questions about how urban dwellers can learn to appreciate and protect the natural world amidst the challenges of city life."
Flight Lessons follows an urban wildlife biologist monitoring Peregrine Falcons nesting on the Fruitvale Bridge in Oakland. The narrative highlights themes of home, migration, and adaptation in the context of urban environments. After one falcon is shot, the story delves into the intersection of human and wildlife lives, exploring loss and recovery. It raises important questions about valuing nature in urban settings and the resilience required to move forward after experiencing loss.
