Bluethroats

"Bluethroats" is a short story by Harry Turtledove. It was the sole original story published in the collection Reincarnations (Capclave 2009). It is somewhat unique amongst Turtledove's works in that it is devoid of fantasy and science fiction elements, focusing on a father and his adult daughter's birdwatching expedition near Nome, Alaska, while each is simultaneously dealing with personal marital tragedies.
