Every spring, billions of birds sweep north, driven by ancient instincts to return to their breeding grounds. This vast parade often goes unnoticed, except in a few places where these small travelers concentrate in large numbers. One such place is along Lake Erie in northwestern Ohio. There, the peak of spring migration is so spectacular that it attracts bird watchers from around the globe, culminating in one of the world’s biggest birding festivals.
Millions of winged migrants pass through the region, some traveling thousands of miles, performing epic feats of endurance and navigating with stunning accuracy. Now climate change threatens to disrupt patterns of migration and the delicate balance between birds, seasons, and habitats. But wind farms—popular as green energy sources—can be disastrous for birds if built in the wrong places. This is a fascinating and urgent study of the complex issues that affect bird migration.

Terms of sale
Prices listed on-line are NET TO ALL. SHIPPING: We apologize for the rates listed for overseas shipping, but the Postal Service has discontinued surface mail for books, and our only option is now airmail. Also, please note: If a book is large or has a shipping weight of over 4 pounds, international costs can run twice what is listed for the default rates. However, if a book costs us only $25 to ship, and the default shipping is $40, we will reduce the shipping costs accordingly. (Please keep in mind that ABE's credit card discount % also applies to shipping, so it's not to the penny, but rather to our approximate cost.)
Shipping terms
All dust jackets have mylar applied before shipping, and all books are boxed for shipping. Most orders received by noon go out that day.
