Faithful 10,000 Birds readers will remember Suzie as our wildlife rehabilitation beat writer. Trying to stop her is her furious husband and the authorities, and helping her is a smitten tech guy and an underground railroad of fellow wildlife rescuers. It’s a funny, suspenseful road trip with lots of wildlife. And birders!
