Customer Reviews

Not only pictures of elusive birds, but an adventure to boot

Taking picture of the most rare and shy birds in North America is not an easy tasking, not even for an avid birder and expert in the field. Well, William Burt is an expert in the field, and it took him over 10 years of hard work to research, track down, and photograph America's most elusive birds. Burt has not only delivered a full package of top quality photographs, but he has written an excellent story of his episodes of wandering through endless praries and dark swamps to find these birds. For anyone who loves birds, or loves an adventure, this book is a must.

Great gift for birders

I bought this book as a gift for birders, and they really loved it. It consists of photographs taken of some of the most elusive birds in North America.
