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.

“With a birder’s eye for detail, White takes us on [Adrian Mandrick’s] painful, near death descent…[her] life-affirming conclusion reminds us that endangered species aren’t the only ones that need to change and adapt in order to survive.”—The New York Times Book Review H Is for Hawk meets Grief Is the Thing with Feathers in this evocative debut novel about a pill-popping anesthesiologist and avid birder who embarks on a quest to find one of the world’s rarest species, allowing nothing to get in his way—until he’s forced to confront his obsessions and what they’ve cost him. Adrian Mandrick seems to have his life in perfect order with an excellent job in a Colorado hospital, a wife and two young children he loves deeply, and a serious passion for birding. His life list comprises 863 species correctly identified and cataloged—it is, in fact, the third longest list in the North American region. But Adrian holds dark secrets about his childhood—secrets that threaten to consume him after he’s contacted by his estranged mother, and subsequently relapses into an addiction to painkillers. In the midst of his downward spiral, the legendary birder with the region’s second-longest life list dies suddenly, and Adrian receives an anonymous tip that could propel him to the very top: the extremely rare Ivory-billed Woodpecker, spotted deep in the swamplands of Florida’s Panhandle. Combining sharp, elegant prose with environmental adventure, The Life List of Adrian Mandrick is a poignant, engaging story that heralds the arrival of a new literary talent.
