Description
When a flash of pink was spotted in a cloud of gray gulls over Newburyport, Massachusetts, ten thousand people descended on the town in hopes of seeing a rare Ross's gull from Siberia. Among them were Pete and Linda Dunne, who set off from there on a year-long odyssey. Dunne had poured the most remarkable stories, birds, and characters into this unforgettable book about their once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

As always with Pete Dunne, well written with plenty of humor. A great birding adventure, right down to the very last story of the venerable National Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count.

Well written, but you have to be a serious birder to appreciate this book. I sometimes got "lost" in all the different names. However, I learned there is a lot of competition in birding.
