A young boy watches a pair of eagles as they nest in a stand of oak trees on the property near his school. When the land is sold to a company that wants to build condominiums, the boy wonders what will happen to the eagle family. Eventually, he and his classmates convince many people in the community to become involved in a plan to save the eagles' nesting site.
The story is appealing for its look at the remarkable bird that is America's national emblem. At the same time, children are encouraged to learn their voices can be heard.

I live with my mom & dad on Herring Bay on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. One morning, all I could see was mud! When I asked my parent where did all the water go, they said not to worry, the water would be back. My dad thinks the wind has pushed the water away. I imagine the wind blowing all the water across the Bay. I think of where all the water went.
