Silver Tongue

Silver Tongue is a fictional account of a year in the life of a pair of song sparrows whose peaceful existence is disturbed during the summer nesting season. Does Darling live to see spring, and Silver Tongue, again? Does Silver Tongue return to his mate after a silly misunderstanding based on foolish pride? How does he survive winter with an injured wing in a dismal New York City park? And why does a troublemaking starling play go-between, smoothing ruffled feathers? This story seamlessly weaves the natural history of the song sparrow into a tale that will appeal to children, young adults, and grownups curious about affairs of the heart in the natural world….
