The Birdman of Cooper Island (2024)

At 77, the planet’s boldest and wittiest birdwatcher heads back to a desolate Arctic outpost for his 49th solo season, guarding a vanishing seabird species. Against fierce storms, crushing loneliness, and the ticking clock, he transforms isolation into meaning with sharp humor and deep warmth. A rugged, heartfelt, and uplifting tale about a man’s enduring devotion to nature—and the surprising happiness he uncovers in the wild.
