The family is off to Fire Island to do bird research. They get a new addition to the family - a small kitten they name pinky. They have some adventures. The four year old is working to stop sucking his thumb. One kid starts a taxi service on the car-free island. Dad injures himself and must be in a wheelchair. Pinky likes to type on the typewriter and get into trouble.
One of kids collects grasshoppers but keeps finding them missing in the morning. Another ornithologist had his pet owl blown away during a storm. They are all worried that it was dead. Then the cats discover the owl hiding away in the attic. A girl witnesses this and they later do a big show about revealing the owl. It is just in time, because they cats are attacking the owl. Later the owl goes to the zoo, but comes back because he did not like it there. Dad works on his scientific writing - which ends up being mostly about the cat.
