The ultimate wish-list for birders everywhere! 100 BIRDS TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE is a must-have book for anyone interested in birdwatching, with entries on 100 of the most incredible avian species across the world, illustrated with stunning photographs of each. Each entry describes the natural history and significance of the featured species with summary information including size (and wingspan, where applicable), distribution, habitat, classification, population and conservation status, and the reason for the bird's inclusion and ranking. Whilst many of the top 100 features species would be on any bird enthusiast's wish list, the selection has been fiercely debated by two renowned birding authors, using various criteria for inclusion. Some species on the list are endangered and therefore a must to see before they are extinct; others are quite common but have a particular plumage or behaviour, which makes them exceptional; and other have a legendary status amongst birdwatchers and the layman.

Download Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
It’s estimated that 50 to 60 million Americans count birding among their hobbies. Some hang feeders in their backyards and accumulate yard lists; others participate in annual “Christmas Counts”; a select few travel to the ends of the earth in an effort to see every bird in the world. With Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die, Chris Santella takes the best-selling “Fifty Places” recipe and applies it to this most popular pastime. Santella presents some of the greatest bird-watching venues in the United States and abroad through interviews with prominent birders, from tour leaders and conservationists to ornithologists and academics. Interviewees include ornithologist Kenn Kaufman; David Allen Sibley, author and illustrator of The Sibley Guide to Birds; Rose Ann Rowlett, the “mother of modern birding”; John Fitzpatrick, director of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology; and Steve McCormick, president and CEO of The Nature Conservancy. The places vary from the urban (New York City’s Central Park) to the mystical (the cloud forests of Triunfo in Chiapas, Mexico) to the extremely remote (the sub-Arctic islands of New Zealand). The book includes 40 gorgeous photographs that capture the vibrancy of our feathered friends, and the beautiful places they call home.

From Morocco to Madagascar, this book presents over 200 bird-watching sites in detail and describes the species endemic to Africa.

How much time do these trips take and when is the best time to go? Featuring over one hundred maps and fifty-one line drawings, this book is not only a guide but also a handy reference.

Download Vesper Flights Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The New York Times–bestselling author of H is for Hawk explores the human relationship to the natural world in this “dazzling” essay collection (Wall Street Journal). In Vesper Flights, Helen Macdonald brings together a collection of her best loved essays, along with new pieces on topics ranging from nostalgia for a vanishing countryside to the tribulations of farming ostriches to her own private vespers while trying to fall asleep. Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom, immigration and flight, Helen invites us into her most intimate experiences: observing the massive migration of songbirds from the top of the Empire State Building, watching tens of thousands of cranes in Hungary, seeking the last golden orioles in Suffolk’s poplar forests. She writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar, swifts, mushroom hunting, migraines, the strangeness of birds’ nests, and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife.
