Where do marbled murrelets make their nests? The answer surprised scientists and will fascinate readers of this picture book set in a west coast forest. (Miller Library Staff)
The story of a nesting pair of murrelets who fly inland from their home in the Pacific Ocean to the Douglas-fir tree area of California where an egg is laid. After the egg is hatched the parents fly back and forth to the ocean bring fish for the young bird to eat. And finally when the fledgling leaves the nest and heads to the ocean.
