An interesting exploration of how nature converts energy. I can understand how some people might find some of the stories upsetting… the author is an avid hunter and most animal lovers probably wince at the combination of the word slingshot with the word hummingbird. Still, there is a lot to learn here, from the contributions of birds and beetles to the role of man himself in the recycling of life on earth
Looking back, I see that I highlighted a surprising number of sections in this book. It is an exemplary nature book: informative (but avoiding mind-numbing academic data dumps) and evocative of the writer's personality.

Not just about birds, but butterflies, bees, insects, other critters, humans, even trees… and home. What makes a home and compels critters to create that home and either migrate to/from or just want to “cocoon” and stay there?
I found some of the info more interesting than others. Of course, it started off with birds and other critters that migrate and how they manage to find their way to/from. But the book expands far beyond, even speculating on humans and home. I have to agree with others that I could have done without the hunting chapter. Even though this wasn’t an audio book, I did lose interest at times, though, which is why the rating somewhere between “ok” and “good” for me.… (más)
