irreverentSpeaking of birds… For the serious birder with a sense of humor
I give you “ The field guide to dumb birds of North America” by Matt Kracht.
Any of the more savvy online guys can show you an image of the cover, but the bird on the cover is a nuthatch, however it is defined as a white breasted butt nugget.
Kind of humorous for those of us who have at least five bird books and have studied them for decades…

irreverentLol.
I’m reading Section 3: Tips for watching birds
And I quote: “whether you’re new to watching birds, or you’ve managed to suffer through it for years, here a few things I’ve found that help to make birding suck a little less”
Etc etc. This is a hoot!
