5.0 out of 5 stars stunningly beautiful book, a bonus for bird watchers anywher, 17 April 2001
By A Customer
Scott Weidensaul has a knack for enchanting readers with his marvelous descriptions of bird migrations throughout the hemisphere. We follow him contentedly on his extensive travels and meetings (human and aviary), we worry with him for ecosystem loss and endangered species, and yet we are awed like him by the sheer beauty and unimaginable strength of birds flying around the world. I only wish he would write another book about the eastern hemisphere!

5.0 out of 5 stars a fascinating,readable book on migration, 21 Jul 1999
By A Customer
not just another dry tome, but hard to stop reading for an almost eighty birder with sixty five years of pleasure in looking. and seeing, and marveling at the wonder of migration. Scott Wiedensaul has handed a genuine nugget to birders everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars eye opening account of the secret journeys of birds, 31 May 1999
By A Customer
Came across this by accident in a bookshop in LA and was immediately enchanted. The author knows his subject intimately and writes with a genuine depth of knowledge and passion. Next time I hear the flutter of wings passing in the night I'll have a little more respect. A revealing, absorbing and finely researched account.
