As the weather changes, many other changes occur in Frightful’s environment. These changes and the need to survive to pull her in two different directions. What two directions is Frightful pulled in?

In the coldness of winter, against snow and rain, Frightful struggles to find food. She looks to hunt with Mole, but cannot find him anywhere. She continues on through the day, growing hungry and weak, and finally settles in the abandoned church near Beaver’s Corners. She stays there a few days, then heads southwest, flying over Bern and North Blenheim. She picks up the migratory route of other birds before her, the Atlantic flyway. She comes down to rest on the roof of the lodge of nature writer John Burroughs, where she discovers Mole. He has been adopted by Hendrik and Hanni Von Sandtford, friends of Sam and Alice Gribley. Hendrik and Hanni discover Mole while restoring an old family farm. Mole has been renamed General by Hendrik and Hanni. She hunts again with Mole, then takes to the sky again, seeing her mountain in the distance.
