Rated Songbird Journeys: Four Seasons In the Lives of Migratory Birds 6/10

Really wanted to like this more than I did. It's very dry and technical, with lots of lists of specific birds that aren't super-meaningful to me, who doesn't know a thrush from a warbler, let alone the distinctions between different thrushes and warblers; the good stuff is kind of buried. It also feels a little bit like a series of essays, rather than the arching narrative it suggests. Still, I enjoyed it, but it's definitely only for people who are hardcore about birds. Would love to read a feature-length article version of the interesting stuff herein.
