Description
|
|
|
|
Spectacularly illustrated with full-page color photographs, this is a birder's celebration of the world's prime avian species, from the endangered Kakapo and Gurney's Pitta to the widely found Hoopoe and Common Nightingale, and the almost mythical Ivory Billed Woodpecker, long thought extinct but believed by some to have been spotted in 2004. British ornithologists David Chandler and Dominic Couzens have chosen 100 birds for their rarity as well as for their striking looks, distinctive voice, or unique behavior, placing well-known and obvious candidates next to such oddities of evolution as the bat-like Oilbird or the prehistoric-looking Hoatzin.
