Celebrating the artistry of bird photography from around the globe, the Bird Photographer of the Year is the leading international bird photography competition, and this gorgeous, large-format book showcases the best images from the contest--some of the most spectacular bird photographs ever taken. A remarkable record of avian beauty and diversity across the globe, the book demonstrates the astonishing skill of bird photographers and the incredible quality of today's digital imaging systems. Previous volumes of this annual series of books have garnered rave reviews. Writing about Collection 9, The Washington Post said, "This stunning collection of images . . . presents the avian world in all its soaring grandeur, stunning color and, yes, accidental comedy."

The Collection 10 volume features more than 250 of the best photographs selected from a record 33,000-plus entries submitted for the tenth anniversary of the competition, including all the winning and short-listed pictures. Taken by experienced professionals and enthusiastic amateurs, these richly various photos are organized by contest category, including Birds in the Environment, Bird Behavior, Birds in Flight, Urban Birds, Conservation, and the Young Bird Photographer of the Year. A portion of the Bird Photographer of the Year's profits goes to Birds on the Brink, a charity that supports bird conservation around the world.
