2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting anecdotes. No technical content., April 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How Birds Fly: Under the Water and through the Air (Paperback)

Pleasant read about author's anecdotal observations of birds in flight, written from the perspective of an avid birder. Author is neither a ornithologist nor aeronautical engineer and understands little about the science of flight. No substantial content for those with an interest in understanding "How Birds Fly." Title is therefore deceiving.
