Description
Book SynopsisPasquier describes the season's distinct conservation challenges for birds that winter where they have bred and for migrants to distant regions. Filled with elegant line drawings, the text describes how winter influences the lives of birds from the poles to the equator.
Trade Review"The material is well organised with a sensible, progressive arrangement of chapters, plenty of subheadings and a useful summary to round off each section. The text is pitched roughly at the level of a ‘New Naturalist’ volume, bridging the gap between professional ornithologist and interested amateur. . . . [An] accessible and useful reference."
---Ian Carter, British Birds"New facts on every page!"
---John Miles, Birdwatching Magazine"
This book is as broad ranging as it is deeply informative. . . . You cannot read this one without learning a great deal and, despite the author’s undoubted expertise the touch is light enough to make it an accessible read too.

---Bo Beolens, Fat Birder"[

---Paul Nicholson, The London Free Press"[A] highly informative, detail-packed, research-based description of bird behavior."
---Donna Lynn Schulman, 10,000 Birds"[The] topic . . . is well served by the author who clearly demonstrates that it genuinely deserves a whole book, and that it is not off-beat at all."
---Anthony P. Payne, Glasgow Naturalist"A . . . welcome publication on a previously neglected topic. I found it a tremendous compilation of ideas and facts about wintering birds and I think it deserves to be very widely read."
---Tony Gaston, The Canadian Field Naturalist"An admirable treasure trove and summation of what is known about wintering birds for all biologists, climatologists, birders, ecologists, environmentalists, and conservationists." * Choice *
"The author has put together an impressive account of a bird’s year. . . . A novel approach to the ornithological literature and an instructive read."
---Christopher Perrins, IBIS Book Reviews"We owe the author a debt of gratitude for his thorough and earnest overview of the “other” half of the lives of birds. I highly recommend this book for its shift in perspective."
