Wonderful nature tale

Pete McGowan really is a Chesapeake Bay hero, who has saved many ospreys by educating people about the dangers of fishing line in osprey nests. This very entertaining book is great for kids who love nature and want to learn more about helping wildlife survive the perils of the modern world.
