Fascinating book. I do a lot of bird watching. Even consider myself a Twitcher, but I have never taken the time until now to look into where some of our Australian migratory birds travel to and from via maps. Quite an eyeopener.
I wish it had more of a world wide perspective though (as it claims to have in the title). Not only A North American one.

It has some beatiful photos and good diagrams to show the main data. However, it is USA-centred, tends to be reiterative in excess, and falling into inorganic details about some species without deepening in common patterns.

I really like Birding and don't have time to get out in the flyways this April/May. This book was beautifully done and packed with so much great info. Highly recommend!
