"The Magic Stump" tells the story of an Illinois tree stump that's attracted a phenomenal variety of wintering raptors through the years, including two rare Prairie Falcons. The documentary is currently in the post-production phase. The goal of "The Magic Stump" is to draw attention to the plight of raptors that winter in our highly altered agricultural landscape. The plan is for this film to be the first in "The Prairie State" series that will feature the landscape that once dominated Illinois.
