Early in 2004, Sergeant Jonathan Trouern-Trend of the Connecticut National Guard began a year's deployment in Iraq. During his free time on base and on trips "outside the wire," he watched birds and wrote about them in an online journal that attracted thousands of readers.

Gathering highlights of his blog, this small book cuts through the politics of war like birdsong, reminding us of our imperishable connection with nature; of how birds and their journeys tie the world together; of the persistence of life even in a wasted land.
