Marina Richie's pursuit of the belted kingfisher is one of curiosity and kinship with a wild creekside community in Missoula, Montana. The first book to feature North America's beloved bird of waterways, Halcyon Journey threads natural history, memoir, and myth. Epiphanies and a citizen science discovery punctuate Richie's seven seasons tracking a skittish pair of birds. The female is more colorful than the male (unusual and puzzling) and the birds' earthen nest holes are fiendishly difficult to locate. Far-flung adventures to other continents in search of kingfisher kin deepen the author's relationship with Montana birds. In winter, she explores tribal stories of the kingfisher as messenger and helper. By the water's edge, she reconciles the loss of her naturalist father and taps into her own powers, inspired by the bird of the headfirst plunge and rattling call. Book jacket.

In the world of Justice Wing, heroes and villains have contended with one another for decades spanning four eras. Now, with the heroes in nadir, Super-archer Broadhead, one of the first prosahuman heroes (meaning he possesses no special powers) struggles to maintain his edge with a failing body. This struggle is compounded by a well deserved reputation for being a butthole (though usually not using the word 'butt') and for an incident that cost him his partnership with his sidekick and the respect of his peers many years before. And yet, through it all he continued to both fight to protect the innocent (admittedly usually while insulting them) and to continue to improve both his skills and his gear, under the basic ethos he always lived by: Plan your projects, create and test a prototype, produce the final result, then continually perfect the design with new models. Now, ten years after a worldwide disaster caused by a mad god's desperate attempt to destroy not just the world but the entire multiverse, Broadhead keeps himself held together with medication and black market super science. But, with a young super-archer named Darkhood coming up, continued estrangements, haunted by his past, and finally benched for his own safety and health, Broadhead finds himself plunging into increasingly vivid memories spanning all four eras -- the Emergence of the heroes, their Halcyon Days, the horrifying Apocalypse Agenda, and now Justice Wing In Nadir, reliving his worst mistakes. Seeking validation, he desperately watches a television program that tests and debunks super-feats in hopes they will prove Darkhood's greatest arrow-shot was impossible... only to have the one person he never thought would support Darkhood show up. After a life of pushing prosahuman heroes to train and prepare for all situations instead of grandstanding and making it up as they go along, Broadhead's last remaining legacy seems ready to crumble... along with his very life. Content Warning: This story contains adult language, allusions to and discussions of verbal and emotional abuse, and (brief and entirely undetailed) references to physical abuse of a child.
