"Fly, Fly Away Home," by Ugli Stick, sings encouragement to large birds like the peregrine falcon and eagle, who today can fly home to Wisconsin due to conservation efforts.

All across Wisconsin,
the eagle and the falcon played.
Industrial pollution slowly took all that away.

Chorus:
But it's hard enough to fight ecology.
So spread your wings and start a family.
You've gotta want to...
Come on get and and go,
Times are a changing. Fly, fly, fly, fly away home.
It's time to make a stand,
All across this great land.
Fly, fly, fly, fly away home.

Our lakes and skies got dirty,
no place for life to grow.
We needed to make some changes,
and clean up our natural home.

(CHORUS repeated)

All across Wisconsin,
things are getting better everyday.
The falcon and the eagle
are back and here to stay.

(CHORUS repeated)
