The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession by Mark Obmascik – You may have already seen the hit movie about ultra-competitive birding, starring Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson. The book is even more enjoyable, with more details about what each of the three main characters experienced and sacrificed in their quest to achieve the highest US-Canada species count over a single calendar year. In the words of world-renowned birder Kenn Kaufmann, “If you didn’t think that a bird book could be a gripping page-turner, “The Big Year” will blow you away. [Author] Mark Obmascik has captured the best and the worst of birding, the euphoria and insanity of bird-chasing as an extreme sport, in this vivid, well-crafted epic.” Hard-cover, gently used.
