The Birder's Lifelist and Master Reference
(1999)
Subject: Birding lifelist
Dimensions (inches): 9.5 x 11
Description: Truly avid bird watchers maintain a 'life list' of all species of birds they have observed. This life list and master reference book lists 9702 known bird species and 2139 subspecies in the world, with space for the book owner to note the date and location of their first sighting – a checklist of over 320 pages. The book is also a gold mine of information on bird anatomy, classification, flight, migration, song and sound, natural history, habitat, feeding, birdhouse designs/requirements, landscaping to attract birds, terminology, etc., everything a birder needs to know to locate, attract and understand different species. One of the greatest strengths of the book is the rich illustration, particularly in such areas as the classification of beak, feet and tail types that so well organize the identification process. The illustrations also cover nest types, egg shapes, egg markings, and wing designs and patterns, all key information compiled and illustrated by biologist/artist Jeffrey Whiting. A 50-page dictionary of colloquial and obsolete English bird names and a 25-page glossary complete the reference material. A life list is the ultimate personal record of any birder so the book containing that list should be attractive, durable, well organized and information rich. This book is all four. It fills a void in birding literature in a manner that is only possible to describe using superlatives. It combines beauty and utility like no other in the field. Any birder would like it.
