Early in 2004, a National Guardsman from Connecticut arrived in Iraq for a year's posting. From nearly day one until he left Iraq, Trouern-Trend wrote about his bird sightings in an on-line journal. The highlights of his "Birding Babylon" blog are collected in this volume, designed to resemble a birder's journal.
This little 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.
