I enjoyed her other book very much, but this one is not what I hoped for. After reading a brief introduction about why she was birding that particular area and what she hoped to find, I expected chapters of exciting observations. But it was very commonplace and dull, mostly--little one or two page snippets about specific birds she saw, where and when, but not in enough detail to be more than the slightest bit interesting.
Occasionally--but seldom--she told about her excitement in finding the particular bird at the particular place. But usually it was just the name, a picture, and a very brief description. I only "finished" reading it by skimming and picking out the few that interested me.
