In 2015, Noah Strycker set himself an ambitious goal: to become the first person to see half the world’s birds in one year. With a backpack, binoculars, and a series of one-way tickets, he traveled across forty-one countries and all seven continents for 365 days. Eventually, he spotted 6,042 species—by far the biggest birding year on record. This is not just a travelogue or glorified checklist. Noah delves deep into a world of chronic sleep deprivation, airline mishaps, breakdowns, mudslides, floods, war zones, ecological devastation, conservation triumphs, common and iconic species, and scores of passionate bird lovers around the globe. By seeking out the freest creatures on the planet, he gains a unique perspective on the world they share with us—and offers a hopeful message that, even as many birds face an uncertain future, more people than ever are working to protect them. “Birding Without Borders is light-hearted and filled with stories of exotic birds, risky adventures, and colorful birding companions.” — New York Times Book Review “Highly recommended for anyone interested in travel, natural history, and adventure.” — Library Journal “Even readers who wouldn’t know a marvellous spatuletail from a southern ground hornbill will be awed by Strycker’s achievement and appreciate the passion with which he pursues his interest.” — Publishers Weekly
