Description:
"To look up at a murmuration of starlings is an experience like no other. Hundreds, thousands, and sometimes millions of starlings fly together as one flock. The group ripples, whirls, and waves as each bird stays close to its neighbors in a harmonious synchronicity of movement. This story, told from the point of view of the flock, gives the reader an inside look at the ebb and flow of a murmuration"--
