100 BIRDS TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE by David Chandler & Dominic Couzens
100 Birds to See Before You Die is the ultimate birdwatcher's wish-list, fiercely debated and painstakingly researched by two renowned birding authors.
This incredible top 100 presents endangered birds side by side with common avian species which have particularly exceptional plumage or behaviour, and others that have gained legendary or iconic status, such as the dancing Red-crowned Crane and the sea-faring Wandering Albatross, or the national symbols Southern Brown Kiwi and Andean Cock-of-the-Rock.
Illustrated with stunning colour photographs of the featured species and distribution maps, each entry profiles the bird's natural history and defines the reasons for its inclusion while providing detailed summary information on everything from distribution and habitat to the length of the species incubation and fledging.
Stretching anyone's concept of the sheer diversity and beauty of the avian world, 100 Birds to See Before You Die is a book that will be treasured by committed birdwatchers and armchair nature lovers alike
