The Nest Was Too Silent, and This Park Ranger Found Out Why
The Secret in the Nest
Tim steadied the ladder, heart pounding. He wasn’t supposed to climb without backup, but the disturbing silence had eaten at him long enough. He had to see inside. Usually, the rustling of his approach would have sent birds into a frenzy. This time, not a single wing flapped.

His grip slipped for a second, breath hitching. His gut told him to get down, but his hands were already dialing. Whatever was inside, it wasn’t meant to be found.
