"Frightful's Daughter"

From the day she hatches, Oksi does things her own way. The daughter of Frightful, a legendary peregrine falcon in the Catskill Mountains, Oksi eats when she should be sleeping and stands when she should sit.

When a poacher climbs the steel girders of a bridge to Frightful's nest, Oksi's refusal to act like her brothers keeps her from being captured. Unfortunately, Frightful (who can't count) thinks the man has stolen all of her babies, so she abandons the nest. Luckily, Frightful's friend Sam Gribley comes to Oksi's aid. But not even Sam can get Oksi to start acting like a normal falcon.
