2015 was the biggest year of Noah Strycker s life. That year Noah Strycker set himself a goal: to become the first person to see half the world s birds in one year. Traveling to 41 countries, on all seven continents, with a backpack, binoculars and a series of one-way tickets, it became the greatest adventure in birding. There are 10,000 species of birds in the world, and in 2015 Noah Strycker spotted 6,042 of them. He earned an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for this remarkable achievement, and Birding without Borders is his record of an astonishing year. Noah Strycker has been described as the world s greatest birdwatcher but, for him, birdwatching is a means of understanding the world that we share with birds. Birds live in almost every part of the Earth, from New York City to the South Pole (even on Mount Everest): Birds are true global citizens, free to come and go as they please. On January 1st 2015 Noah was on a Russian ship in Antarctica and at 3 A.m. he saw his first bird of the year, a Cape Petrel. There was a Turkey Vulture in the Falkland Islands, a Jamaican Owl in Jamaica, a Sooty Flycatcher in Cameroon, a Twite in China, a Noisy Friarbird in Australia and, finally, a Silver-breasted Broadbill on December 31st in India. Along the way Noah meets a colourful cast of tallow birders. He travels through war zones, floods and areas of ecological devastation (as well as areas where conservation has triumphed). Noah gains a unique perspective on how we are protecting the world birds share with us.
