Bird migration, underway right now, is examined, explained and made glorious in two new books.
Scott Weidensaul tells us about "the global odyssey of migratory birds" in "A World on the Wing." Weidensaul, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, is a bird migration specialist with several books to his credit.
His book is published by W.W. Norton & Co., hardcover, 386 pages, color photographs, $32.
The glory is found in "Flights of Passage, exploring the natural history of migration" in text and truly great photos shown to advantage on 9.5- by 12-inch pages. Serious photo envy comes with every copy.
