This review was originally posted on my old reading blog, Gwenith Reads.
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.
