“Living on the Wind: The World of Migratory Birds” by Scott Weidensaul, Writer and Researcher.

Since the dawn of human imagination, we have been spellbound by the migration of birds, in which even the smallest species traverse immensities of space the way we cross the street. New research continually expands our understanding of where birds travel, and their migratory feats, even as many migrant populations are in steep decline. Author and researcher Scott Weidensaul explores the wonder and mechanics of migration, and the simple, effective ways we can preserve them, from what we plant in our gardens to what we pour into our morning mug of coffee.
