Pete moves to a new town and discovers a rehabilitation center for birds of prey.

"A picture dictionary of 14 common North American raptors is appended to the book, but it is the clear, pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations that capture the beauty and fierce power of these birds. Small individual portraits face full-page, bordered paintings that picture the activities of the rehabilitation center. Double-page pictures at intervals show the birds in flight high in cloudless skies and looking down on vast tracts of earth."--Amazon.com.
