Book Synopsis
A grieving boy remembers his grandfather and the hobby they shared, in this moving evocation of love and loss by a Newbery Medalist.


Milo''s grandfather is fascinated by birds. He admires their freedom and never loses an opportunity to point out the things that make each one special. 
 
When he can no longer see as well as he used to, Milo helps him spot and take care of some of his favorites: hovering kestrels, fragile chickadees, and the bald eagle soaring high overhead.
