As James walked home from his Earth Club meeting at the Community Center, he thought about the topic of discussion that day. Tim, the president of the club, showed a video about how the bird population in the city is suffering because of pollution and the disease that is affecting some of the bird habitats. The group then discussed how they could possibly help with this issue.

While on his scenic walk through the neighborhood, he pondered the question, "How could he, a single person, help save the black–throated sparrow, or the burrowing owl?" There were so many birds, and he was just one person. As he passed the jungle gym on the right, he followed the bend in the sidewalk and noticed an object in a shrub out of the corner of his eye. He walked a bit closer and noticed that the object was a burrowing owl and it was clearly in trouble.

He knew that if he moved too quickly or acted too swiftly, he would scare the distressed bird, so he chose his actions carefully. After assessing the situation, he saw that the owl's legs were tangled in plastic mesh. He determined that if he could just hold down one side of the plastic that the owl could step out of its snarled mess. Methodically, he moved behind the owl and cautiously reached his hand near the owl's legs. Tensely, he pushed down on the end of the plastic. The owl panicked, but in his chaos, his legs came free. As he flew away, it seemed to James that he turned his head back as if to express his gratitude.

James walked home thinking he was just one person in a big world, but when he helped the burrowing owl he learned that one person can still make a difference. He was careful and calm, and because he didn't rush, the owl was able to free its leg and fly away. The feeling James had afterward was like the feeling he got at Earth Club—hopeful and determined to do more. He decided to tell Tim and the others about what happened so they could teach more people how to help wildlife safely. From then on, James knew that even small actions, like picking up trash or checking for animals in need, could help protect birds and their homes. He promised himself he would keep paying attention and that maybe, together with his club, he could help save many more animals.
