Moonbird: A Year on the Wind with the Great Survivor B95 by Phillip Hoose

3.0

The story of this bird is fascinating. He has lived close to twenty years and traveled incredible distances every year to follow food sources and bulk up for the legs of his long journey to the breeding grounds in the Arctic. I enjoyed the profiles of people involved in the study and conservation of red knots as well. The book didn't grip me, though. I found the sidebars very distracting, as they frequently were placed on pages without natural breaks, so I would have to interrupt the flow of the story or remember to go back for the information later. I also found the chapter on extinction excessive.
