The (Big) Year That Flew by: Twelve Months, Six Continents, and the Ultimate Birding Record
Arjan Dwarshuis
I really enjoyed The (Big) Year that Flew By, the story of Arjan Dwarshuis’ record-setting year. These books are tough to pull off — especially because we know how it ends — but he did a good job mixing in personal history and jumping around in the narrative. Recommended! https://t.co/yipuPUNSnR
