Description
Painstakingly researched, passionately written, and beautifully illustrated, this is the definitive birding guide. With stunningly photographed entries, 100 Birds to See in Your Lifetime offers a treasure trove of information on the world's most unusual, obscure, beautiful, and sought-after species. Each entry describes the natural history and significance of the featured species, with summaries that include: Size (and Wingspan, where applicable); Distribution; Habitat; Classification; Population & Conservation status; and the reason for inclusion. With the contents fiercely debated by two renowned birding authors, this wish list includes endangered species; birds with exceptional plumage or behavior; and still others that already have a legendary status, such as the dancing Redcrowned Crane and the spectacular Gyr Falcon.
