	Let us now consider the smew by Bob Brockie \| New Zealand Listener
		In The Big Year we relive their searches up snowy mountains to see ptarmigan, their boat trips to see noddies and albatrosses, their chartered helicopter rides to see Himalayan snowcocks in the Nevada desert.
		We are given a wonderful account of visits to Attu, the desolate, westernmost of the Aleutian Islands – and holy grail of birders – to see smews, pochards, and stragglers blowing in from Siberia.
		Our three top birders hurry to see an off-course Baikal teal behind an ice-cream shop in Denver; in Tucson they sit with 20 people around the base of a telephone pole at dusk, hoping to spot an elf owl.
