Hollars conveys an infectious sense of awe and excitement for every bird he spots. Yet this is so much more than just a catalog of sightings. It is also about the author’s entry into a community of intriguing characters—some brilliant, some eccentric, yet all bound by their fierce love for birds.”—Justin Hocking, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A wonderful read. . . .
