A Season On The Wind by Kenn Kaufman

As literature goes, this is interesting at the best of times but pedestrian and pedantic in places. The author is a life long birder, starting in childhood and both he and his spouse continue to bird early and often. They chose to move to northern Ohio because of it's importance as a stopping off point in the song bird migration from their wintering spots in the south of the Americas to the north where they breed and spend the summer. That was the driving force in why he is there, and it is at the center of what ties the book together. He is working up momentum for opposition to putting wind turbines on the shores of Lake Erie and in order to bring notoriety to the migrating bird's plight, he also started a birding festival that occurs over 10 days at the front end of May to experience the migration in person. So there are two threads, wound together, that end up being an interesting story decently told.
