On Feathered Wings: Birds in Flight
Richard Ettlinger
Abrams
Nonfiction, Nature/Photography
*****
DESCRIPTION: Few things capture the imagination like the sight of a bird on the wing. This book compiles photographs of many species of bird in flight.
REVIEW: With text mostly limited to explanatory captions, most of the book's 182 pages features beautiful images of beautiful creatures. This stunning collection is full of shots most of us could only dream of capturing. An excellent artistic reference, it's also fun just to page through and marvel at the wonder of birds.
