Summer Reading Club submitted by Debbie Beer
To See Every Bird on Earth, by Dan Koeppel.
The author, a non-birder, tries to understand his father's obsession with
listing, even accompanying an elite group of birders to a remote corner of
South America to toast Richard's 7000th bird. It's an interesting story
about birds, as well as father/son relationships.
Does anyone else have any recommendations?
