At twenty-three, Alison Watt left the comfort of a relationship and urban life to spend four months studying tufted puffins on Triangle Island, a remote bird sanctuary far off the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

At the age of 56, Batterson, a mother of grown children who was living with her second husband, an Episcopal priest, experienced an episode of restlessness. Though brought on by her retirement which she found a depressing reminder of her advancing years it wasn't her first bout of wanderlust, which in the past had resulted in experiments with skydiving, rock-climbing and trekking in Nepal (Batterson was a national and international skydiving champion). Fortunately, her husband understood and supported her desire to spend several weeks following migratory birds in their VW camper, on a solitary journey that would take her from Connecticut to the West Coast and back. In spare, well-crafted prose, she recounts watching the migrating monarch butterflies in Kansas and observing sandhill cranes ...
