A Parrot Without a Name: The Search for the Last Unknown Birds on Earth

Very good hardcover in dust jacket. Light foxing to outside edges and some shelf rubbing to dust jacket.

In this riveting and richly detailed account, Don Stap brings us into the heart of the Peruvian rainforest in the company of two remarkable ornithologists: John O'Neill and Ted Parker. Here we watch them in their true element, engaged in the essential fieldwork of onrithology–collecting, describing, and debating the identity of birds. And we are there in that rare moment to feel the pleasure and excitement when an unknown bird is discovered–a parrot without a name.

"I read this book at one sitting, swept along in the adventure narrative and captivated by Don Stap's crystalline and evocative prose." –Dorothy R. Arvidson for Bird Observer
