Entertaining true story detailing how three avid birders ended up unintentionally competing with each other to see as many birds in one year as possible. The differences in personality & list-building methods are described as well as their epic travels. There are also numerous sections which nicely describe some of the target birds including one excellent chapter on migration including one bird's-eye-view whilst actually making its migration flight. In short, enough birds for birders & enough human interest for non-birders, & for me a lot of dreams of travelling to the locations mentioned to build a list of my own. Finished October 2011.4/5.
