Featuring 50 common North American birds, such as the White-Breasted Butt Nugget and the Goddamned Canada Goose (or White-Breasted Nuthatch and Canada Goose for the layperson), Kracht identifies all the idiots in your backyard and details exactly why they suck with humorous, yet angry, ink drawings. Each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more. With migratory maps and tips for birding, plus musings on the avian population and the ethics of birdwatching, this is the essential guide to all things wings. No need to wonder what all that racket is anymore! 650 0 $a Birds $v Identification. 651 0 $a North America. 650 0 $a Bird watching. 655 7 $a Humor. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716040600.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403014434.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013053.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054227.0 952 $l CLPC792 $d 20220830012737.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20200903013156.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204095654.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110082437.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20200104012842.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20190508015950.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE86D0CC715611E9B8F39B1897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
