Birds and more and more and more

North on the Wing:
Travels with the Songbird Migration of Spring
by Bruce M. Beehler

This is a hard book to review. It's great, of course. In many ways. The author took us on his travels all the way up the Mississippi River and onto the Jack Pine barrens of Ontario. On the way he set out to visit every wood warbler in its nesting habitat, and I believe he succeeded.
But as he said,

      I have come for songbirds, but I'll encounter much more.

And he did--habitat, bird banders, old-growth forest fragments and all the second-and-third growth in between. He'll see animals, butterflies, flowers, and a whole heck of a lot of birds. It's a marvelous book.
