"A delight, exuberant and fascinating...The birds are amazing; the birders are insance....An enchanting book."
"Engagning...The writing is not only alive and funny, but also often beautiful...Cocker artfully relates the stories of many of his fellow tribe members, stories filled with strange and sometimes tragic incidenst....Commendable.
"Endearing...Between the layers of fascinating facts, the author weaves a narrative that moves from the comic to the poignant and the tragic."
