Criteria: how impressive, unique, rare, and hard to find each bird is. He included a diverse selection across continents and oceans, and throughout the spectrum of bird families.

#1 is the Philippine Eagle. The largest and most spectacular raptor in the world is also among the rarest; it is threatened with extinction as the Philippine forests are destroyed. Perhaps only 250 adults remain in isolated and difficult to reach remnants. Check out the other extraordinary birds on the list…
