The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession by Mark Obmascik

5.0

I loved this book. Even though I am a birder, I think the appeal is in watching people with an obsession go after a crazy dream. Obmascik includes triumphs and failures plus interesting background on the origin and history of the Big Year. There are also great stories about dinner specifics bird species and bird behavior. Even though I already knew the outcome of the competition, I couldn't put this book down.
