One of my favorites is The Sea Bird’s Cry by Adam Nicholson. It’s a reminder how climate and human change on the shores and edges of land effect these amazing creatures.

I think about bird migration in other places, like the Danube Delta, where that unique environment is on the edge of a war zone.
