Famous birder journals (1 Viewer)

[BobinKy]

I was playing over at Amazon.com today and started a wish list of published journals written by famous birders. I realize I have not even scratched the surface--Where is Audubon? Nevertheless, here is what I have so far.

Dunne, Peter (1999). The Feather Quest: A North American Birder's Year. Maniner Books. ISBN 0395927900. The Feather Quest.

Kaufman, Kenn (2006). Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of an Extreme Birder. Houghton Mifflin. ISBN 0618709401. Kingbird Highway.

Peterson, Roger Tory, & Fisher, James (1997). Wild America: The Record of a 30,000 Mile Journey Around the Continent by a Distinguished Naturalist and His British Colleague. Mariner Books. ISBN 0395864976. Wild America.
​

Are there suggestions of famous birder journals to add to my wish list?

The Big Year, by Mark Obmascik. It tells of three birders who do a big year in 1998. Great read.


Return to Wild America, by Scott Weidensaul. The author retraces Peterson and Fisher's trip from Wild America. It's great to read this one after you read Wild America so you can see what has and hasn't changed.

Those three that you mention are all great.

 

[Vectis Birder]

Birding on Borrowed Time by the late Phoebe Snetsinger. Excellent stuff about world birding.
