Kenneth P. Able
Kenneth P. Able is the editor of the anthology "Gatherings of Angels".
While technically an anthology, this is primarily an essay collection which covers a variety of topics related to birds and their migration habits.
Migrating birds which are covered in "Gatherings of Angels" include hummingbirds, finches, egrets and hawks.
Several experts have written essays in "Gatherings of Angels", discussing the bird migration phenomenem. Large parts of the book focus on the actual research into migration, and how rader was used to track migration in an attempt to determine the reason behind the mystery.
The collection of essays also go into more detail in regard to migration itself, such as the mechanics behind it, and also the risks that migration poses on various different birds.
"Gatherings of Angels" also discusses how the migration routes can change over time, and are altered due to the degradation of the birds habitat.
It's a very interesting book which can be helpful for anyone interested in birds. For example if you are a bird watcher, you can learn the habits of these birds and the best time to see them in a particular area. If you are interested in the science behind the migration, that is also covered.
