Firstborn

Firstborn is a book of poems and anecdotes which starts where Tracks on Damp Sand leaves off. Here we find that the firstborn eaglet to that pair of bald eagles we met in Tracksis a female who leaves the nest reluctantly. We see her struggle and learn to survive in her world as the humans in her immediate surroundings learn to survive in theirs. Nothing comes easy for bird or humans, but light catches the moments and makes them touching and memorable. Over and over we see how all of life is truly a gift.
