A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds–A Book Review

10,000 Birds

I was especially interested in “To Hide From God,” the chapter on songbird slaughter and protection in Cyprus. The 20-plus list of resources is organized by chapter, so there may be some repeats in the citations I counted, but I doubt there are many.)
