100 Birds to See in Your Lifetime: The Ultimate Wish-List for Birders Everywhere by David Chandler and Dominic Couzens

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, and 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.
