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

4.0

Once again Hoose writes a great one. Through the story of just one bird, a 20 year old Red knot, B95, he teaches you about the Red Knot life cycle, ecology, conservation and how anyone can help. B95 has lived far longer than any had expected. Year after year he makes the arduous from the southerly tip of South America to islands north of the Hudson Bay. Since he was tagged in 1995 he has been recaptured and tagged again. As recently as 2011 he and his distinctive series of leg band colors were spotted again. A compelling tale that leaves you hoping that B95 is still out there flying thousands of miles each year.
