Thorough and not unpleasant to read but fairly dry and academic.

This is between a three star and a four star.
There are plenty of facts to keep trivia people happy and some of my favorite birds are discussed. Some of the writing was awkward and is overwhelmingly North America-centric (what the author says about Hiroshima is bizarrely insensitive and I don‘t know how it got by editors).
There is enough explaining of the mechanics of bird life to help me feel I learned some things.
