An accessible description of the science of bird migration. Berthold not only outlines the incredible stamina and navigation skills of birds in their seasonal movements, but he also discusses recent ideas, hypotheses, experimental results, and methods in this fascinating field. The book
provides an overall sense of how we know what we know.
There are twelve chapters, including information on types of migration, migratory behaviour, physiological adaptations, orientation mechanisms and navigation, and conservation needs of migrants. For birdwatchers and naturalists, as well as professional ornithologists, this book will inspire a new
appreciation and understanding of migrating birds.
