This is a hilarious little send-up of field guides to birds and, though probably funnier for those with experience using field guides, is still accessible to everyone. In addition to very nicely rendered illustrations of such birds as the Mangrove Penguin (Tuxedo verdantus) and the Greater Noxious Grossbird (Incredibilus disgustus), the authors also include helpful charts showing the correct assembly of bird parts, nesting success of the Nearsighted Bat Owl (the news isn't good, I'm afraid), and the feather count of the Rear-Tailed Evader to name a few. ( ) A must-have field guide for any serious birdwatcher in North America. Contains discriptions and gorgeous watercolor paintings of some of the most interesting North American birds, which are often inexplicably left out of the standard guides, including the Manglove Penguin, Fixed-Wing Falcon, and Silhouette Warbler. no reviews | add a review
