Eulogy to Passerine Birds - Jean-Noël Rieffel

"Birdwatching is, undeniably, a state of poetry. The practice of ornithology is a simple pleasure, accessible to all. For me, it was a form of initiation, and then it became a necessity."

An enthusiastic ornithologist, in this wonderful tribute to migratory birds, Jean-Noël Rieffel narrates how his passion for birdwatching was awakened and how it came to be a way of life based on observing nature and recognizing himself as a being connected to its perpetuated rhythms and cycles. A beautiful declaration of love for birds and a lovely invitation to distance ourselves from the baseness of our existence and to take the time to observe.
