Book Synopsis
THE RUCKUS OF BIRDS takes place in but a moment of time. Six minutes, to be precise; but whether minutes or hours or days or years is not relevant. The place as well is vague. The main character remains nameless. 'He' stands under an eave of his house watching rain fall. He watches the rain and the birds as they flitter and feed. His thoughts, like the birds, come and go, one feeding on another, going and coming. He is a science teacher at a small college. It is spring break, the middle of the term. Birds are his specialty and his delight.
