Subtitled "A Natural History Account of a Small Bird's Annual Migration From the Arctic Circle to the Tip of South America and Back," this fascinating book tells the epic story of a small sandpiper (so named for its salmon color during the breeding season). Harrington and free-lance writer Charles Flowers folow the fate of the bird, which migrate each year 18,000 miles between Brazil and Hudson Bay.
