Released August 13, 2024
Ever since the Backyard Rangers saved turtles in their town, Miles thought his troubles were behind him. But adjusting to his new school hasn't been easy, and now there's a new wildlife problem. Birdwatchers and paparazzi are flocking to see Marsh Hollow's newest celebrity, " Bella" the barred owl. The crowds are putting all of Marsh Hollow's owls on a deadly collision course with humans. Miles and his friends spring into action, launching a campaign to protect their feathery friends. When Miles discovers that someone is baiting and trapping owls, wildlife photographers, birders, neighbors, and kids all become suspects. Soon, owls aren't the only thing that's threatened-- secrets, tensions, and a rival group of rangers put friendships to the test. Will this be the end of the Backyard Rangers? Or can they band together and solve the mystery before more owls get hurt?
