"A gorgeous photo essay by Roberta Bondar, first female Canadian astronaut: two migratory birds, Whooping Crane and Lesser Flamingo, and what their necessary habitats look like. In one word, stunning!”
Steve Perry - Wildlife photographer, writer, educator - Website
"Join Dr. Bondar as she takes you on an epic photographic adventure following the Lesser Flamingo and Whooping Crane along their migration routes. This visual odyssey captivates with awe-inspiring imagery from space, breathtaking aerial photography, and intimate portraits from eye level. It’s a front-row seat to a migration saga featuring two of the world’s most fascinating species.
...
The brilliant writing and stunning imagery combine to tell the story of their incredible life cycle as they struggle to survive against increasing environmental pressures.
The book highlights the mounting pressures and obstacles this pair of species face each year and the urgent need to protect their unique habitats. It’s an absolute must-read for any student of natural history."

"You are the only person I’ve read able to integrate the beauty of poetry with lovely precision of science. I really like reading it. This will not only be a good “coffee table” book but a perfect teaching tool."
