Each spring, the bell chimes, the wind stirs, and all eyes turn to the tower.
A new season is beginning.
High above the town of Bowling Green, Ohio, a peregrine pair makes their home at the top of the courthouse clock tower. From speckled eggs to first flights, a remarkable season unfolds as children and families come together to watch.
Told in gentle lyrical prose, this story celebrates the rhythms of nature, the wonder of wild beauty close to home, and the quiet moments we all share.
