Condor Cliff

Trapped in the most beautiful place on Earth, what's a fearless birder to do?

Equipped with her Sibley Guide, explorer hat and trusty binoculars, Amanda Byrd fearlessly pursues the most elusive winged species, solving some problems along the way.



Following on her late husband's footsteps, she explores a beautiful canyon among a gaggle of tourists led by Ed, a native guide working under a mean boss. As a majestic California condor swoops overhead, Amanda discovers the lift sabotaged, trapping their group at the bottom with no way to climb back up the cliff.



Who did it, and why? Our intrepid birdwatcher must find a way out before the rising sun turns the canyon into a mortal cauldron.



A spirited short-story introducing the energetic Lady Byrd, written by Michèle Laframboise, multi-award winner author and enthusiastic birdwatcher.
