Synopsis What drives a man to travel to sixty countries and spend a fortune to count birds? And what if that man is your father? Richard Koeppel's obsession began at age twelve, in Queens, New York, when he first spotted a Brown Thrasher, and jotted the sighting in a notebook. Several decades, one failed marriage, and two sons later, he set out to see every bird on earth, becoming a member of a subculture of competitive bird watchers worldwide all pursuing the same goal. Over twenty-five years, he collected over seven thousand species, becoming one of about ten people ever to do so. To See Every Bird on Earth explores the thrill of this chase, a crusade at the expense of all else-for the sake of making a check in a notebook. A riveting glimpse into a fascinating subculture, the book traces the love, loss, and reconnection between a father and son, and explains why birds are so critical to the human search for our place in the world. BACKCOVER: "Marvelous. I loved just about everything about this book." Simon Winchester, author of The Professor and the Madman "A lovingly told story . . . helps you understand what moves humans to seek escape in seemingly strange other worlds." Stefan Fatsis, author of Word Freak "Everyone has his or her addiction, and birdwatching is the drug of choice for the father of author Dan Koeppel, who writes affectionately but honestly about his father's obsession." Audubon Magazine (editor's choice) "As a glimpse into human behavior and family relationships, To See Every Bird on Earth is a rarity: a book about birding that nonbirders will findjust as rewarding." Chicago Tribune.

Attempting the Ultimate bird -watchers acheivement to see every bird on the planet is the task of a lifetime. This book addresses a deepseated need to relate to the natural world expressed in the focuded way birders know best - cataloging, categorizing and making huge species lists. At the same time it is a story of a son's attempt to understand a distant father's lifetime fascination. This book will not only make you want to see the Andean Coot but will allow you to understand what moves humans to seek escape in seemingly strange other worlds. The book looks new with a bit of shelf ware on the paper jacket. Then you find a curious small dent on the back cover where a parrot considered the book. Otherwise pristine. Books.
