In 1998, Chris Dunford flew from California to Winnipeg. He then took the train north to Churchill and Hudson's Bay. He spent a week adding new sightings to his "life list" of birds. During the course of that week, he encountered a wide array of birds from Canada's North and discovered that he was coming to terms with a whole series of much deeper questions about his place inthe created world and his relationship to God. This is a unique book about birding that this as much about spirituality as it is about the fanatical interest that some people have in birds.
Knowing Chris Dunford personally through my work, this book was a special and intimate read into his inner thinking. It's a great read for a birder as well since it goes in depth into a particular spot in northern Canada with the delighted eye of a well-spoken expert birder.
