August Sees a New Bird Paul Weatherhead

Upon the birth of his first grandchild August Dollenberg, Paul made up a story about the annual migration of Goldfinches from the North to Hilton Head Island during the Winter. He noticed that the male Goldfinches regained their bright yellow color in the Spring about the same time that the Southern Pine trees were releasing their bright yellow pollen. To a child, such transformation is magic, and Paul tried to capture that magic in this short story.
