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

5.0

Wow! Maybe I just liked this book so much because I am a birder, but I couldn't put it down. There was only one thing about this book that I didn't like, (and I would rate it a 4.5 if I could). First, there were occasional profanities thrown in, and the author sometimes would say something about the birds having "wild crazy sex," just to make it sound more exciting, but to me that just made it sound less professional. I loved learning the history of birders and birding through this entertaining story of 3 crazy guys who gave everything for a year of chasing birds around North America. FUN READ!
