Sunshine’s Surprise
A Film by Kara Hagedorn
What happens when two baby chickens find themselves in a nest with a hawk? Don't hawks usually eat chickens?
Sunshine, a red-tailed hawk, can no longer fly free. But her instinct to be a mother is so strong that she builds a nest in her aviary every spring and laws two infertile eggs. One years Kara, her caretaker, decides to try something different. She gives Sunshine two chicken eggs. Join zoologist Kara Hagedorn and Sunshine to find out what happens in this delightful story of interspecies cooperation.
Available in hardcover and paper back! Be sure to check out the film, Sunshine’s Surprise too.
“A tender story of cross-species relationships—most movingly, perhaps, the one between Sunshine and the author.”
