Birding



Birding


For some people, bird watching is a compulsion that can become
more important than friends, family or career. Richard Koeppel is one of those
obsessive birders, and in this candid book, his son shares his story, painting
his father as a tragic figure who passionately wanted to become an ornithologist
but became the doctor his parents wanted him to be instead. Not surprisingly,
Richard's medical career never satisfied him, and he gave it up to become a "Big
Lister," one of a group of highly competitive birders who travel the world
making lists of their sightings. Over the years he spotted more than 7,000
different species, a number achieved by fewer than a dozen others.

There's a lot about Birding "Big Listers" in there. Interesting
parallels with hang gliding big-miles club? Possibly. Nevertheless, the
information about birds is quite interesting.
