The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America--Matt Kracht

A delightful answer to the question I always ask myself in the morning, "who is outside my window making all this annoying noise?!" Sometimes that answer is a neighbor with a leafblower, but more often the answer is one of these dumb guys. How dare they. Matt Kracht pokes fun at the sport (oh the irony of using the word sport in this review) of birdwatching/birding in a refreshing and kindhearted way. Describing birds by shape, from normal bird to murder bird, the book leads you through whatever little bothers you may find in your backyard or on a trail in any given moment. I was laughing the whole time I read this and couldn't put it down. Anyone who loves birds, or the outdoors, or just simply laughing should read this book. (Disclaimer: I received this title free from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.)
