I am in the middle of reading "Living on the Wind" at this moment and would
HIGHLY recommend it to anyone with an interest in birds or wildlife
conservation. It is not a boring scientific study on bird migration but an
engrossing and personal book about the author's field experience on the
subject. So far I would count this as one of my favorite books of all time,
especially since many of the experiences are from areas that I have traveled
already or hope to travel in the future. Although I had just heard of this book
it is not actually new, it was published in 1999. Thank you Gordon for pointing
this fabulous book out to others in the birding community.
Cheers,
