Hope Mountain Karla Martinson

Hope Mountain "Wild Bird Rescue" is first of a series. A work of fiction showing off Montana Wildlife. Written in lyrical form that can actually be sung to. I used "Rock-a-bye baby". A terrible thunderstorm came with destructive power. A young great horned owl and baby black crow are lost, blown far away from their nests by the wind. A kind ranger rides in to see the damage. The young birds are found starving and lost. He scoops them up and takes them back to his 1950's fire lookout cabin. That is where it all begins! Wait! Here comes a young turkey, focused on a grasshopper she becomes completely lost! She finds herself on the doorstep of the lookout with two loud and active young birds. I wrote this story because my mom and dad rescued people. Our Home was a revolving door of hospitality, fun and spaghetti! My father was a career Fish and Wildlife employee.
