Trapped in the most beautiful place on Earth, what's a fearless birder to do?

Equipped with her Sibley Guide, explorer hat and trusty binoculars, Amanda Byrd tirelessly pursues the most elusive winged species.

Following on her late husband's footsteps, she explores a beautiful canyon, among a gaggle of tourists led by Ed, a native guide working under a nasty boss. As a majestic California condor swoops overhead, Amanda discovers that their group is trapped at the bottom with no way to climb back up the cliff. As the sun goes higher, the canyon will become a mortal cauldron.

Who did it, and why? Our fearless birder must find an answer and a way out before the sun turns the canyon into a mortal cauldron.

A spirited short-story introducing the fearless and feisty Lady Byrd, written by Michèle Laframboise, multi-award winner author and amateur ornithologist.
