Delightful, quick and easy reading. Barnes' style is chatty and inviting. (Maybe he could even make me enjoy articles about sporting events!) I did have some moments when it felt like he and I weren't both speaking English, as he is writing about Britain and other parts of the world, where there are birds I have never even heard of. It was such relief to read his story of coming to North America and feeling much the same way.

Open your eyes and just enjoy the birds!
