The Bird Saviors is another lucky find for me at the library. William J. Cobb wrote a book about, well not exactly about but there is an ornithologist in the story. This fellow is counting birds near Pueblo, Colorado because the bird species are going extinct one after the other. He hires a young girl to help him count birds. The young girl, Ruby, is a mother of a baby and the daughter of a veteran who suffers from mental and physical health issues. Throw in some criminals with a good heart, good cops with a checkered past, some scum bags, and some Mormon fundamentalists and you got yourself a good story.
