Moderately interesting on bird watching. A bit too many bird names.

Well, I certainly don't think this book improved my view of Big Listers as kind of self-centered and emotionally dysfunctional (after reading a book also about the amazing Phoebe Snetsinger) but I thoroughly enjoyed this son's view of his dad's growing listing obsession, and how he eventually resigned himself and even accompanied his father on a birding trip (one on which his father achieved his 7000th bird.) His efforts to connect with and understand his father, even though he'd been hurt himself, were inspiring.
