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

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

by Don Stap



Traveling with ornithologists John O'Neill and Ted Parker on two separate expeditions into the Peruvian rain forest, Don Stap gives a firsthand account of the gritty realities and unexpected triumphs of fieldwork in the South American jungle. He describes the thrill of discovering previously unknown species of birds--and the sobering realization that "progress" is fast destroying both habitat and inhabitants in the rain forest.
