Rufus is a determined, rufous-capped warbler with a crooked tail feather that makes flying tricky. When the flock takes off for their long migration, Rufus drifts the wrong way and finds himself lost in the chilly woods. Cold, tired, and hungry, he fears he’ll never find safety with his flock again.
But kindness is waiting at Brindle Gap. Farmer Baker and a barnyard of feathered friends welcome Rufus into their warm, bustling farmstead. With Zeb the quirky cardinal and Martin the broken bumble bee, Rufus discovers that sometimes the wrong way really can lead to the right place.
A heartwarming autumn tale of hope, friendship, and finding a home when you least expect it.
